Sounds like you had some fun.

Sounds like a good load, have youn used any lighter projies around the 300-350Gr mark in yours?

I have recently picked up a Lott.

Cheers

Hi buddy no mate I just do the one load a hunting load and stay with it.

his load is very safe though a little hard on the shoulder you will need to use a shoulder pad limbsaver is a good one to buy.

Already got a limbsaver. I intend to use 500Gr woodleighs as my main hunting round, however, for plinking and a bit of pig busting, will most likely settle on one other load with a lighter projie.

Cheers

We shot the CZ 458LOTT today with 80grns for 2175fps. Total amount of rounds through this rifle is 22 and the rifle has been bedded. before the next two shots where to be made off hand I noticed a big crack in the pistol grip. lets just say my mate was not impressed.
Better now than on a hunt, hey.
He was always thinking of having a nice custom stock made...

I guess my question is was it factory bedded or by a gunsmith? Mine came factory bedded and crossbolted, but the guys at AHR weren't impressed with the CZ bedding job and re-glass bedded it and added another recoil lug. And my rifle is a 375 H&H! I think the CZ makes a good foundation for a DGR cartridge that requires a magnum Mauser-type action, but it's just that, a foundation. You can send it to AHR have them do their CZ #1 upgrade and reglassbed and add a lug and still be at around $1600 (assuming you get your CZ for about $800). You'll have a real nice rifle then. You could buy a Ruger in 458 Lott, or for a 458 Lott, 375 H&H you can go buy a used pre- 62 Model 70, and then have some work done it. If you get lucky finding a good model 70, you'll come in at about the same price and the gun will be worth more.

Just my two cents,

Chuck
