The only problem is that you do not get to enjoy all that the Lott has to offer.
My brother's gun likes a "big much" load of IMR 4320 and the 500 gr. bullets.
The reason that Barnes makes a 450 gr. is for the Lott. Otherwise the 500 Barnes makes
the shell too long for most actions.

Thanks for the advice. Did you know Homer Strickland before he moved outside?

Homer and I did several projects together. I developed a 6.5 x 284 with a ..400" neck. The idea was to get the barrel to last a lot longer. I later changed it to a 7mm.
Same powder charge as a straight 284. Won a regional F open with that one. I am still shooting that gun.

Yeah Craig, Homer came down here a few times over the year and I shot BR with him. Last time was before he passed away with cancer. We shot together at the Arkansas State BR Championship.
Hated to have him go away.
