This is a “Lott” to consider! I can see that the “Lott” has a “Lott” of potential, when using the “Lotts” of available components.....the “Lott” can perform well for a “Lott” of different applications, which would be a “Lott” to ask of a lesser cartridge! wink memtb

The Lott is capable of a Lott and a Lott more. Just remember that a Lott of scope is not needed for the Lott,nor is a Lott smaller scope needed for the Lott. For the Lott a mid-range scope is what the Lott needs. wink

Your most recent post, pertaining to the “Lott”, was a “Lott” more than I thought could be put into words, describing the “Lott’s” of well deserved attributes to the “Lott”. When it is summed up there is not a “Lott” that the “Lott” can’t do, and that is saying a “Lott” of any cartridge, whether factory produced or a “wildcat.....which covers a “Lott” of cartridges held in high esteem! whistle That’s a “Lott” more that I thought I could put together in praise of the “Lott”! smile. memtb

Lott's of hunters praise the Lott as being a Lott better than the .458 Win. That means a Lott to Lott's of hunters of dangerous game. Don't forget the the Winchester round can be fired in the Lott which will get you out of a Lott of trouble.

A Lott of people who handload for the Lott will get a Lott of practice with their Lott's and that will improve their shooting with the Lott a Lott. wink

I don’t think I can expound the virtues of the “Lott” nearly as well as you have.....that would be a “Lott” to ask! I will humbly bow in reverence to your knowledge and experience, as you have “Lott’s” more to offer in this conversation pertaining to the “Lott” than I! 🙇‍♂️ memtb

Well,they are trying out their Lott's on Lott's and Lott's of gallon jugs. They need Lott's of practice with their Lott's.

I bought a 458 Lott purely for the heck of it. I also have a 458 Win. I have no defined use for either, other than just because. The notion at the time was to load 400 grain bullets in both.
I got side tracked with 416's and 350 grain bullets. So the 458's pretty much just sit in the safe a whole lot. Were they stainless, perhaps that would be actually used. A stainless in a Mark II / Hawkeye Ruger and a Lott in a stainless M70 Classic might see some use. But, the 416 Ruger and 416 Rem are my favorites in above .375.

Rumor has it, that either one works pretty good on rabbits....jacks or cottontails! memtb

I once owned a CZ550 in .458 Win Mag. At the time I could have bought a CZ550 Lott at the same price. However, I didn't buy the Lott for several reasons I'll not go into here, but I was getting "Lott" ballistics anyway by seating the heavy bullets long. At the time, .458 brass was more available than Lott brass, and cheaper.

Today, I own a Ruger #1 in .458 Win Mag and easily get 2300 fps from 500s, 2400 fps from 450s and 2760 fps from the 350 TSX. And I'm not alone in those results from the .458 Win Mag using not only A2230 but other more modern powders. Mine has a 24" barrel.

There's a long ongoing 136 page thread about all that on AR.

The cases will only stretch if there is too much headspace - and could happen to either 458WM or 458Lott brass. The only problem using 458WM brass may be that you get mis-feeds/jamming thanks to the shorter brass and steeper feeding angle.



Both "headspace" on the belt...
