[44MAG#1]

100 yards with a Cast 550 gr GC in a 458 Lott.
Not as good as most of you guys but good for me.

Looks very good to me. Must be a shoulder thumper!

[Earlwb]

Looks good to me too. But heck that has to start hurting after a couple of shots.

Interesting read, but you might try posting this in the rifle section instead of the handgun:)

Why would I want to do that? I appreciate your advice though. Thanks.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for that caliber. I've always wanted one, but I have no idea what purpose it would serve. There are no elephants where I live and dinosaurs are extinct......but I've always wanted one.

beechbum444, you only need ONE reason, because you want it.

[beechbum444]

I really do not know what the attraction is to that caliber.....I have a few rounds that I found somewhere and I look at them in awe.

I think it's an Encore. He also shoots a 458 Win Mag.

If he is indeed shooting a 458 Lott out of a handgun than my post was out of line.

I was looking at getting a 458 Lott Encore pistol barrel but I did get a 15" 500 S&W and a 26" 375 H&H so I think I'm good for now.

I have a Lott on one of the new Classic M70's. A rechambered 458 WM that used to belong to a friend who lived on Kodiak Island year round.

Truly fun with cast.

A 550 gr cast at 1200 to 1300 FPS should be enough for whitetail.

Is that the Lyman 462560? I think that is the number. It casts a 540+ gr. RF GC. I have one I had HP'd by Erik Ohlen that casts a 520ish grain HP now. Never shot anything other than paper with it, but it sure looks cool :)

[44MAG#1]

No it is an old NEI 550 GC that looks like the Lyman with a crimp groove and three lube grooves. Size at .459" depending on alloy and hardness.

Ouch!! I have a braked 375 H&H Encore that I break out when the person next to me on the range decides to rain .223 brass on me from his AR. That thing gets your attention quick! I can only imagine a 458 Lott from the same platform.

Great shooting! To shoot those groups shows you have the fundamentals down!!

Here is a pic of the 550 GC and the 515 PB. Of course the weights depend on the alloy.
These are hard, brickbat hard too.

The round is as long as the barrel, HOLY SMOKES!
I hope you have a good doc to fix hands.
