There are at least a couple by brands of copper plated lead projectiles made for 458 SOCOM. In particular I like the design of the 450 gr projectiles made by CamPro in Canada and SBR in the US. These bullets are designed for the pressure levels and velocities of the 458 SOCOM but look like they may make a good practice bullet for 458 Win Mag/ 458 Lott. (NOT for hunting anything anywhere!).

Does anyone have any experience using these at 458 WM or Lott pressures and velocities. Do they function safely or is there a risk they'll strip jackets in the rifling or other adverse effects?

The campro bullets have a heavy plating I have been thinking about the 405gr flat point for possibly hunting. don’t know if I’d get any expansion but should drive a nice hole in North American big game.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
