I have 9.3 x 62, 375 H&H 45-70 and 450 Marlin, but somehow there remained an itch that just had to be scratched. Finally scratched that itch this evening. Found a good deal on a Ruger #1 Tropical stainless laminate. The guy who had it shot it exactly 8 times. I got the box of hornady 500 grain FMJ/RN with the 12 remaining bullets with the deal. Guy said (with emphasis) he really had no use for them. Now I can come to one of Jeffe's big bore shoots and get a displaced shoulder and a detached retina and be one of the guys. GWB  I'm thinking of down loading it with some 400 gr. speers and taking it to the lease next weekend and see if I can't turn a porker inside out. GWB | ||

It is a 458 Lott. Don't know why I didn't put that in the original post. Maybe because I was getting my marchin' orders from my darlin' bride concerning dinner. GWB | |||

I think the "Whompers Club" starts at 200 Ft. Lbs. of recoil  577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

See: http://forums.accuratereloadin...1043/m/545106238/p/1 Starts at .458 Lott, but you have to be standing after the target goes down. Was curious as to how much free recoil the #1 would have in a .458 Lott ... which is why I ask for the weight. Just an estimate that in an 8 pound rifle the recoil might be as high as 87+ ft/lbs ... is hefty! Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ...

Would just have to make a 3.5 lb Lott to get 200 Ft. Lbs of recoil carbon fiber wrapped barrel, titanium action and bolt, kevlar stock. I wonder how light a 458 Lott can get  Just having fun =) 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Good looking gun! The .458 Lott is a hoot to shoot, and the # 1 is a fine rifle, I'd say you did good, pardner! | |||

| One of Us |
Sorry, meant 5.18 lbs. 5.5 lbs would be way to heavy. I guess you can tell I have been trading with Tom again. | |||

Being the "pussy" that I am, I will start out with Hog Killers plinkin' load till I can get a decelerator pad on. I plan to load up a few today and maybe mount a scope. Hopefully I'll take it to the lease with me this weekend and see if I can't pop a hog with it. If I do I will take some pix and report back. GWB | |||

Wy I'm sure even Will would think that 458 LOTT in that Ruger would not be too heavy for it's caliber. I know he would want to shoot it!  Rusty We Band of Brothers!

We old men have to stick to our little .458 Wins with 62 Ft/lbs. Ain't no way I'd go for 200 with my back... | |||

Whenever you get ready, that is an easy re-chamber to "450 NE 3-1/4 Inch Thin Rim." You are flirting with disaster if your single shot is not chambered for a flanged cartridge. I have one just like yours and had it rechambered (Pronto!)to 450 NE, the granddaddy of all Nitro Express standards, as of 1898. I think the latest make of LimbSaver slip-on pads work well on that one, if you need a little extra LOP. The new LimbSavers do not melt in the safe. The leather Galco or Pachmayr slip-ons with velcro pastening are great too. You can even add some extra rubber inside one of those. The rubber Pachmayr Decelerator slip-on is excellent also.

So strong is the decrease of 458 Lott?. I still have not tried my Ceska in that caliber but I would like you to produce a retinal detachment  . Oscar. I am Spanish My forum:www.armaslargasdecaza.com | |||

Ovny, enjoy your Lott. It will NOT harm you from the recoil, it is only in the 74 ft lb range. Retinal detachment caused from recoil is a myth. Bad genetics/nearsighted people are the only ones that MIGHT have this problem.
