In all of the reloading manuals I have seen that list data for cast bullets, 2200 FPS is about tops for a cast bullet, regardless of the cartridge. The limitation being the lead and how easily it strips in the bore, even with the hardest of suitable alloys.

You may be able to shoot that bullet easily in your Lott and get alot of practice and even take some game with it. You could even drive it alot faster if you want, but if your gonna hit a barn with it, best be standing inside of it.
