My understanding is that Jack Lott designed his cartridge to produce the same velocity that the 458 win mag originally claimed to do - namely 2100-2200fps with a 500gn projectile. This the Lott will do with the greatest of ease - not so the win mag. It struggles

Well this issue has been thrashed out extensively before, so I'll just say that I disagree and leave it at that

It has, and I agree with the last poster. I have fired both rounds out of the same basic rifle and find the recoil of the Winchester round to be more comfortable, and I am generally NOT recoil sensitive. But that shouldn't be a real consideration for a DGR, the question instead being will the Winchester do the job as well as the Lott. If the more modern loading for the Winchester does what it was designed to do in the first place, the Lott would seem to be less desirable from the recoil and cost standpoints. Dave
