....but you could “never”, make the .458WM a Lott! JMHO. memtb


If you actually read what Jack Lott wrote he claims that all he ever wanted to accomplish with the longer Lott design was to duplicate the original ballistics of a 500 gr bullet at 2150fps as that had been proven to be perfectly adequate and controllable.

The original 458 accomplished that with a 25" barrel and now with newer powders like AA 2230 it is easy to push 500 gr bullets in a standard 458 Win well past 2200 fps.

But if you actually feel the need for more power then by all means get a Lott. Or better yet, why not a 460 Wby ?

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
