Fired the full Lott
18/02/05 11:18 AM

Had the experience of firing my CZ 550 American Safari with the full Lott cartridge today. I'd fired it before using a .458 Winmag but, never the Lott.

I put two winmags (to get my shoulder ready) and two Lotts through the rifle in about 5 minutes time. Results are that yes, there is a lot of recoil but, it's not unmanageable. It is much more than the .375 H&H I'm used to shooting and I will say that it is certainly the fastest recoil I've ever felt but, it's not too bad. No bloody nose, no broken bones and no bruising. It's not such a scary thing at all.

I will say though that with the Lott I have probably reached the limit my body can consistantly take. I'm not a large person, just average, and in my 30's. I don't think I have the desire, at least at this time, to push into the 50 cal's. I take my hats off to you guys who can handle them.

I'm happy with my Lott.

Thanks to everyone for their help in the past.
