Sir Ron,

Just joined AH.com because after seeing your link, curiosity got the better of me.

Unintentionally, I probably added some more fuel to the 458 Lott fire you lit. But, have to call a spade a spade based on my experience with that cartridge. Personally I have no use for a cartridge requiring a true magnum length action which doesn’t deliver any added performance to a 458 WM loaded with proper powders and modern bullets, especially with monolithic solids, when pachyderms are on the list.

For those who truly think they need more power, see the 460 G&A or 450 Rigby. Or, for radicals, throw in the 500 NE 3”. Sometimes, more is more.
