Well, I must be the only one here who has taken an animal with the .458 Lott. So far, a 40 inch Cape Buffalo, a giraffe, a wart hog (w/a solid), and all I can say is I won't go back to anything else. My Ruger .416 will probably go up for sale. My .458 Lott is a Ruger #1 and I love it.

had a Ruger RSM in 458 Lott a few years ago, shot plenty of pigs and a few scrub bulls with it. Used both 405 gr flat points ( plinking and pigs) and 500 gr RNSP projies in it. I shoot A 470NE and I reckon those 500 gr at 2400 ish fps are brutal in comparison. I liked the rifle and calibre but one of many projects required more funding so it got sold.
