458 Win in 458 Lott - 02/03/13
An acquaintance wants to sell a rifle he isn't using; a Win Safari super grade 458 Lott. It is like new condition. I want to be able to shoot 458 Win Mag loads. The word is that you CAN shoot them in a Lott but is it considered a good practice? I think this rifle is priced right ($800) but if I can't shoot 458 Win, I don't think I want it.
Any of you guys tried this combination before?
Thanks
I just scrolled down and see someone else has asked basically the same question. I don't want to do it in emergencies only, I want to have some fun shooting some cast bullet loads etc. Not sure how easy it will always be to get the Lott brass. If it is as benign as shooting 38s in a 357 I don't see a problem. Just hoping accuracy doesn't typically deteriorate to bad with this combination.
