The correct velocity for the 458 LOTT per several PH owners of said caliber is 2,250 FPS. When I stated 2,200 FPS I was blowing hot air out of my mouth instead of my ass. Oh well, it was just as sweet, anyway.  | ||

He Will probably disagree!  Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

When I say the heading WILL WAS CORRECT, I just had to see what this was about!!! Seemed far fetched. | |||

if the 458 winmag at 2150 + 62,800 PSi si the problem, then 2300 at 62,800 aint the answer ... 2200 at about 52,000 psi, however, IS no critter in the world knows the difference in 50 fps // opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

+1 Holy smokes, I just found something Jeffe and I agree on! Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

I have to disagree with jeff, politely if it were 45fps we were talking about I'd say sure, no problem, but we're talking 50. Now its acceptable when talking to guys about your loads to "round" to the nearest hundred FPS, if we're off by 45fps we'd have to round down to 2200, well that's not cool so we'd say 2245. BUT if it's 50fps, well then we get to round to 2300! Oh, it's doin' "about" 2300fps. Red | |||

Hmmm! I always round UP, to the next thousand! What's this round to the nearest thousand nonsense. This is a shooting forum after all. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

I can't figure out a single worthwhile thing to add to this thread. Sooo, I won't! Rich 450 Dakota and just say "my 500gr loads clock just OVER 2500fps...". | |||

Somehow someway Will being right is just not correct.  | |||

Will must have choked on something when he saw the title of this thread. | |||

I think that he was measureing the Volocity and not the recoil. With my 458 Lott with a 500gr solid bullet it will go 2363 ft per second | |||
