Guy think about 2200fps, im starting load development, have worked on the past with 375Rums,416Rem,Rigbys and .470NE, and I dont know if its the stock configuration this CZ kiks like 2 angry mules held together, a straight blow to your shoulder with every 500gr on the air.
Will post pics rifle and groups.

Wow! Is that a "just for fun" rifle? Or do you hunt with that get-up? :shock:

Might be enough gun for elk… or maybe a 16 liter diesel engine… :mrgreen:

Dr.Mike to group toys this size you must be well minded, hihi, just too much recoil with each shot, but thats part of my work. This gun shoots like a target gun with no modification from Factory only reloads, with bedding and adjusting the trigger-has lil creep- it would shoot better, but for what it is MOA elephant rifle it better tan good,hihi. Have a nice day.

 

[DrMike]

I fully understand. I had a customer complain on one occasion because his 460 Weatherby was only shooting 0.70 inch groups at 100 yards! I thought I was doing very well on a factory rifle! I had no idea he would be hunting carpet elephants. :mrgreen:

I have a Lott on a Rem. 700 with a Lilja barrel. It's claimed the life of a couple bears but I was only shooting 250gr X-bullets for a 45-70 at 3200fps. They get your attention with 4-500gr bullets. I shot my bear this year with my .460 Weatherby using a modified 250gr Cutting Edge Raptor doing 3600fps. The bear was dead on impact.

 

[Elkman]

You are now setup for anything on the planet. A very nice looking setup, the cartridge looks like a beast! Great shooting.

 

[Rigbymauser]

Yes the.458Lott is a big cartridge...

 

[SJB358]

Very nice 458! What a hammer buddy!
