Thats true. And to anyone who wants to ream a lott to an ackley, don't do it. It's not worth it.
However, there is a new round in SA that's looking promising for myself, and that's the .458 3" South African. But, for all my searching, I have found not one reamer, and I must admit, I just don't feel like going through the hassle of ordering a custom one.
Basically, the 3" will do what the lott will do, only with lower pressure. Of course you can up the horsepower over the lott, but then you will still have the pressure the lott has. And with a standard lott magazine, I don't know, there may be some tweaking to do there.
The .450 dakota is out for me, and I'd prefer a .450 rigby if going with a larger case, but then you'd have to open up the bolt face.
Ahhhhhh....I'm rambling.
But then, we could all just buy .460 weatherbys(in a custom rifle-NOT a weatherby rifle), and download them to just the right velocity. I personally like 2400fps for anything other than traditional nitros, which should stay at original spec. In a bolt gun, I like 2400, and my lott will only do 2330, and that's with 85grs of 4320 with the 500woodleigh. And again, that's published velocity and not real world velocity, so I don't actually know what mine is doing-I don't have a chrony. And, that's tip-top end for the lott.
