lovetherecoil,

I'll second what 475Guy and the rest have said. I wouldn't recommend the Lott shooting full house ammo for a big bore newbie. The Lott demands respect and propper handling. Off the bench it is tolerable (somewhat) from a high seated position but don't go low. I know better but made that mistake last Sunday and the recoil goes staight down your spine

That said it is a fun round and you KNOW you are putting some serious lead downrange. Handload and go from 45-70 levels on up to your recoil tolerance!
