    458 Lott Hornady DGX / DGS

    No chronograph yet just guesstimating based on other data. Would like to get the highest velocity safely possible but not compromising accuracy. Was hoping that someone may have experimented with DGX / IMR already and had some data. I loaded 3 each from 80 gn going up to 85 gr in 1 gn...

    .458 Lott advise

    The location of safety on back of bolt made me decided to go with a reddot because it has unlimited eye relief and is short enough that the safety latch is not a concern.

    .458 Lott advise

    Shot the Lott this past sunday and it's a joy to shoot ! Wore a browning vest with jelly pad and the recoil was more like a slow hard push feeling rather then the abrupt kick you get from a a 3 1/2 " mag 12 gauge . After a few standing shots to adjust with the lott's personality rested it on...

    .458 Lott advise

    Thanks to everyone for the advise. No sitting or scope at first till I figure things out and use some type of on body recoil padding but not a sand bag ( I would have never thought of putting a sand bag on my shoulder that a bit ridiculous ). I get all this but am confused about the parker...
