    .458 lott Velocity with 20 inch barrel ?

    Hello Roughshooter, My Lott has a 21 inch barrel and I have achieved velocities of over 2300 fsp with 500 grain TSX and Banded Solids from Barnes. A little slower is more accurate and easier to shoot (or more accurate as it is easier to shoot!). At least for me, 2235 has worked well and is...

    .458 Lott whats your opinion

    Hello Harrison, Mine has worked well for kudu, zebra, gemsbok, giraffe and buffalo with 295 to 500 grain bullets. I am left handed so I had one made on a Weatherby action as I could not find a suitable LH Winchester/Mauser type action at the time and have been very happy with the caliber and...

    Hello Meat78, I've used a leupold 3-9x40 and more recently a leupold 1.75-6 on my .375 H&H. Either you suggest should be fine for Africa or western hunting. Best, jpj3

    Mass killings - some food for thought

    Hello 1OH, I don't think either one of us is from another planet (I'm not, anyway!) but our founding fathers began fighting a war against tyranny with the "shot heard 'round the world" at Lexington and Concord when British Soldiers left Boston to confiscate the local Militia's arms and powder...
