Hello friends, I always turning to the head. Well I like my 458 Lott but as I read about the 460 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, the more I'm enjoying it. The point is that I have the rifle Ceska Safari Magnum 550 in 458 Lott, and I wonder if it could technically speaking, recalibrate the rifle cartridge 458 Lott to the cartridge 460 Weatherby Magnum and if this task in your country is very expensive.

Thanks,

Oscar.

Have you shot your lott yet ? If not Id suggest you do to see if that is comfortable to shoot then also consider the price of brass for 20 weatherby you can have 458 lott cases also are you willing to shoot full power loads or will you download it to lott levels in which doing so what is the point to have a bit of lower the psi but if your heart is set on it you can have it done for about 5-700 dollars

Hi I really have not shot with him, I know I'm hard headed. Have I understood that the rifle chambered 458 Lott to 460 Weatherby Magnum, go if I run with the rifle as it is harder because most do the work necessary for the rifle chambered what cost me my own rifle.

Sincerely,

Oscar.

But if you want the velocity and have a smith who knows what they are doing go for it the bbl is already 25 inches and you can add some weight to it and it will be a dandy of a rifle

Here in Spain we have a great dealer, I've asked for money and bureaucratic problems that this entails (in Spain the legislation is very hard on the weapons issue.) Especially if the price is affordable (not cost me more than the rifle) sure do.

Ovny, if you haven't shot your 458 Lott, I would suggest you do so. If you haven't shot a rifle with similar recoil before, I'm betting the 458 Lott will give you as much recoil as you will want. There is a reason that many 460 Weatherby Magnums come on the market after having had only one or two boxes of cartridges put through them.

As for your rechambering question; yes, I think it could be done.

Then, there is the question of ammunition costs. In the U.S.A., if you want 100 new empty 460 Weatherby Magnum cartridge cases, it will cost you over $300 U. S. dollars.

Hi Grumulkin;

Well, I see the 460 Weatherby Magnum caliber is expensive in all respects. And what you say is true, a friend of mine sells a Weatherby Mark V of this caliber because it supports powerful recoil. I'll think.

Regards,

Oscar.

There is a considerable increase in recoil going from the Lott to the Weatherby. But it can be managed by starting with lower powered reloads and then increasing as you get used to it. You could also install a muzzle brake and make sure there is a decent recoil pad installed and maybe even some mercury recoil reducers installed in the butt and forearm.

The problem is that my budget is very limited, it took me a year to pay 1100 euros ($ 1,530.12) that took the rifle. I can not deal with spending too much and probably took me a long time to save enough money. It's a silly whim, so maybe the cartridge 458 Lott is not so bad.

I believe if you poll some PH's you might find that they find the Lott favorable. I know my CZ Lott will hold 6 cartridges in the magazine +1 up the spout is a lot of firepower.
If you desire the gun a little more flexible you might entertain 450 gr loads in your Lott at 2400FPS. This is very obtainable with AA 2520 powder and less recoil than 500 gr loads. It will shoot as flat as the 416's and some say that 2400 FPS is the velocity to look at to transmit more "shock" effect for lighter skinned dangerous game.

I would sure do a lot of shooting with a Lott before I would consider a 460.

Compare the recoil energy and factor
http://www.accuratereloading.com/recoil.html
Energy is about 41% higher and recoil factor is about 70% higher.

I would keep my rifle as a Lott and use the $$ to provide ammo or a downpayment for a trip.

can it be done on a cz550? without question .. open the boltface, get a rigby follwer, spring, and perhaps magbox ..

why is a good question, and because is a good answer

Do PH prefer the 458 Lott to 460 Weatherby Magnum, but if the 460 Weatherby Magnum has higher kinetic energy, is more reliable to stop a charging elephant, buffalo etc ...

Thanks to all

Oscar.

A PH prefers what ever you shoot best

most PHs I know hate the hard hitting (both in front and behind) 460WM but really like ability of the Lott.
Work with the LOTT for a while before you make a rash decision would be my advise.

Oscar, I own a 458 Lott and it doesn't hurt me to fire it at all. I weight 180 lbs. It is very
accurate. With no recoil. I mean the recoil is there but the stock fits right into my shoulder
so I just rock a little but no pain.

And change my rifle Ceska 458 Lott, more RCBS dies, plus a Ruger GP 100 revolver and a Bushnell Elite 3200, more Leupold QR mounts and rings for a Weatherby Mark V rifle 460 Weatherby Magnum of what you think?

Oscar.

Hi, I understand what you mean. I imagine that I stayed with Lott.

Oscar.

I'll Take my Lott. Anywhere! And shoot anything!! Just my $0.02... But hey I have a lot of guns just cause "I wanted it!!" Enjoy..
