No, I have no data, but am curious whether anyone has tried it.

I have found Varget to work very well in the 458 WM, over 2150 fps with the 500 gr. bullets.

Seems Varget would be a natural extention to the Lott with 500 gr. bullets.

Any experience?

Have tried it. I have to confimr my notes, but I believe with a 500 gr cast bullet and 22" barrel 80 gr 2150 fps, 82 gr 2200 fps, 84 gr 2250 fps. As I recall, all loads were compressed, and accuracy was good.

Varget's good stuff, pretty much my primary rifle powder.
