Can anyone direct me to a drawing of the .458 Lott cartridge online?

Crash,
This might be close enough, just substitute the length of the winnie with 2.800 for the Lott

Thanks Jen....

Do know what the MOL of the round is? I am thinking about rechambering a CZ 550 in .458 Win Mag. I don't know if the CZ has a magazine block which would interfere or not.

I do not have first hand experience with the Lott but I think MOL is 3.670.
Do a search in the African section and a huge amount of info will be the result.

Good luck with Your project

check out www.clymertool.com under reamer design - belted.

COL is 3.60 for the Lott, but 3.65+ is nice if your magazine can handle it. Will has done this to a 550, I think the magazine is open to 3.65+.

The CZ550 .458 Winchester I had would accept the Lott in the magazine with no alterations necessary.

To convert the .458 Winchester CZ550 to .458 Lott, you can often get away with just running a Lott reamer in to deepen the chamber. If additional work is needed, it is usually very minor work on the rails and feed ramp to improve feeding.

Is there any commercial, 458 Lott Ammo avaliable?

Don't need it because it fires 458 WinMag ammo as well?

458 lott ammo is now being produced by Hornady. Yes you can fire 458w in a 458 lott.

Hornady has added the 458 lott to thier line of ammo for 2002.
