I agree 100% with what you say about the Lott not being the super hard kicking ,make you nose bleed,know you sensless cartridge. Yes it kicks ,A LOT ,but not overly so. I can honestley say that I dont flinch with the Lott ,I,m not scared of firing it. It would be my upper limit though for controlable shooting. I have used a 460 Weatherby and it was too much for me.
