So, the ".458 Lott Like Jack Built" was actually a .450 Watts Magnum superimposed in a SAAMI .458 Winchester Magnum chamber with no barrel setback,
and brass shortened to 2.800" maximum instead of the more difficult to make 2.850".
Ms. Piggy is blushing about that one.

A great passage on page 22, related to why he was not interested in bullets lighter than 400 grains in his .458 Lott:

"... Besides, the factories catalog guns and loads
that do everything a down-loaded Lott could ever do.
They call them .45-70s."

The SAAMI .458 Winchester Magnum is easy to down-load into a .45-70 equivalent,
or up-load to .458 WM+ to beat a SAAMI .458 Lott.
