I have not shot any .458 Win. Mags out of my Lott yet, but if I do:
Does anyone have experience with this, and if so does it make a ring in the chamber causing the Lott to stick on extraction or while feeding due to the shorter length of the cartridge? My thinking was, for moose hunting use .458 with 400-grain loads and a scope. Once sighted in with that, if I want to go back to the Lott, I can take off my scope and use the 500 grain Lott loads with my express sight still sighted in for that round. It gives it diversity … in loads and sights.
