458 Lott and 748
G'day guys,
Does anyone have a load for 748 and 500gr SP's in the 458Lott?
We are having a powder availability crisis here in Oz, and this is the only powder I've got a good supply of.

Thanks guys.

Cheers.

There are a few loads listed in the reloading pages of this web site for the Lott with 748.

"...I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

Thanks to all. Powder is getting very hard to get over here. 748 is all I've got that's suitable, and factory ammo is getting above $140 a box!

Cheers.

I've shot allot of Win748 through my 450 Ultra Magnum with exellent results using 350 through 500gr bullets.
