As I said, if you like the Lott, I won't fault you. People like what they like and the lott does let you choose between lott loads and WM loads, if that is an issue for you in some far flung place. I am unaware of a WM bullet that needs more velocity than the WM allows for it be accurate, but I...

There is nothing wrong with likeing the Lott, but that is not how terminal ballistics works.

To add to that, a 45 Colt/280/1100 will go through everything. What does a Lott do that a WM cannot?

I'd like to hear more about it, in case the OP doesn't want it.

I can probably tell you the outcome, but it sounds like a fun time. Maybe you will write it up so we can read about it when you are done.

I have to admit that I'm curious about what you want to do with them.

Beautiful! What does it weigh? How is the trigger if you don't set it?

I have a ULA in 350RM and like it, but I don't consider it to be a very high quality rifle overall. There are pluses and minuses to each, but overall, my WC NULA is a better rifle. Get one in 308 and it will do whatever the 243 and 30-06 will do in a single rifle. Just an idea, obviously the...

Some details might be helpful. Maybe barrel length and weight to start with?

I like and miss the 2-7's as well as the 1.75-6 and the fixed 2.5 and 4x and 6x. None were as good as the 2.5-8, though I liked the form factor of some of them. Since the 2.5-8 has always been the highest performing scope of its kind (from Leupold), it probably doesn't make sense for them to...

I have had both but only have the 458WM now. I don't feel a difference in recoil from WM to Lott, but I also don't feel the difference between 400g and 500 g loads in my WM, so YMMV. I prefer the WM because it gives me all the power I need and my WM cases don't stretch terribly as they did when...

Too much weight for me. I have a fixed 2.5 on one 458 and a variety of other scopes on another (Blaser). I do not like RDS on those guns, but that's me. I run an RDS pistol everyday and on M4's for 30 years. Just not on my bolt guns.

Thank you. A bit big for me still, but nice leather.

Is the 44 a lawrence? 38" is the smallest size hole?
