Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Sir Hannay,
Welcome.
Do that PT and get well soon !
Fire when ready !

Here is a reminder to those who think it is funny that a perfectly safe .458 WM+ load might be excessive in a SAAMI .458 Lott
even when both the 2.5" and 2.8" brass cases are fired in the same rifle platform,
like in Sir Jerry's challenge to the Lottite,
using a Ruger No. 1 .458 Winchester Magnum (SAAMI chamber)
and a Ruger No. 1 .458 Lott (SAAMI chamber) :





"Throat Jump" is the distance from case mouth to where the leade has tapered down to .458" diameter in the lands, the start of bullet bearing with a .458-caliber bullet.

One may fix a .458 Lott by running that .458 Winchester Magnum reamer into it, with a stop at the belt.
Jack Lott would approve.
Unfortunately, he had passed on to The Happy Hunting Ground before Art Alphin designed the SAAMI .458 Lott.
