I would guess that it would be easier to make from the brass of 416 Rem - as one level of enlargement is completed.

Then a simple fireform and you should be done.

I make 450 Ackley by using 416 rem brass and then simply set in a .458 boattail bullet - the boattail acts as an expander. Saves a step.

Thank you friend, I thought it would be easier to get cases of 458 Lott from the pods of the 375 H & H Magnum cartridge that comes from this. So I think it is more profitable to buy the pods and manufactured.

Regards,

Oscar.

.416 is easier, though annealing .375 and fire-forming with Cream of Wheat can be done.
.375 cylindrical is available in the USA as are Headstamped LOTT .
I think midwayusa.com has european outlets (dealers) and websites.

You are quite right, we have a shop in Spain Midway, in which we can find all kinds of recharge, but at prices higher than you have in Midwayusa. I look at that store far I have the gun. Many thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,

Regards,

Oscar.

I have made 458 Lott brass from 375 H&H. It is not hard to do. But I would prefer proper 458 lott brass for DG hunting.

So it is better to buy ready-made factory.

Thank you,

With Hornady making Lott in factory form for relatively (even here in Canada) good pricing - I would just buy their factory ammo if you can get it in Spain for a reasonable price.

For my 450 Ackley - using the Hornady 458 Lott ammo (already loaded) and shooting them to fireform is the cheapest way to go!

I'm going to buy the rifle first and then I will look for cheap ammo, I would also like to reload ammunition 458 Lott and other weapon short (I have a Glock 27 40 S & W, a revolver Astra44 Magnum and a revolver Ruger Gp100 357/38) and I think that charge is a pleasant and interesting activity, but bit a bit. I know that Hornady ammo is fairly cheap, especially when compared with Norma and Federal ammunition.

Thank you,

Oscar.
