I have a pre64 model 70 that was rechambered (unfortunately!) from 300 h&h to 300 weatherby. It is a nice gun but I am more interested in bigger calibers and cast bullets than I am long range shooting. So with the rechamber and custom stock this rifle no longer has great collector value and I am thinking about making it into a Lott. Seems like a pretty easy conversion at first glance. Would much feed work be required to make it reliable?
I have a big 520 grain gas checked bullet in 458 caliber so the Lott comes to mind. With this nice long action it seems appropriate to stick with a longer round. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be .458.
