You definitely got a workout for your shoulder today! That 30-378 is definitely dialed in. I do relate on the heat build-up on the 300RUM and the 7mm RUM; I've had the problem every time I've worked up loads. Still, those are not bad. The Lott must be a joy when it is shooting that well. Good shoot, Fotis. I take it the wind died down a bit? It has been blowing pretty hard here for the past several days.
 
Fotis, that .458 Lott is shooting great. They all are but the Lott is really impressive for cartridges that sized.

You should shoot it! OUCH!
 
That 230gr Berger load is going to be a fun one!!! You need to get out and stretch the legs on that one and report back! That's a very impressive load from a ballistics standpoint....well done!
 
Those big 30's seem pretty awesome!

That Lott seems like it wants to be a 22-250.

I don't think it'll take much get your 270 on point. Just add fuel. It'll come around.
 
Fotis thanks for the photos & report:
You will likely not have to worry about any of them.

Blessings,

Fotis,

Nice shooting buddy. I would say you are ready!

Great groups, most anything on the planet should beware. Did you shoot the Lott early in the day or later. I always shoot the big ones first, then my shoulder can relax for the day. They all look pretty much dialed in to me.
 
I do like that Lott, but great shooting all around. Did you say those targets were at 25yds :mrgreen: :mrgreen: JUST KIDDING :lol:

Actually it was hot out so I had to alternate.
 
Have to admit it, your Sako's and Tikka's are shooting very well especially. No flies on the Lott either, great loads and shooting.
