Hi: Anyone have any experience with the .458Express?I have a Brno 602 i was going to make .458 Lott but this South African round sounds neat.Thank's

3" lott - brass is rumored to be made from unobtainium.

got with the lott ..
or, better still, an ackly chamber, marked lott, and use lott brass

Well put. I think you are correct a Lott would be much more practical.What about this ackley chamber? Thank's

Do you mean the 3" express (a 3" lott) or the African Express (a 2.6" shortened .404 case).

It seems like these two are confused sometimes by nomeclature.

the african express, a twin of the c=vincent short and my 458 AR, doesn't require a 602 action... would be a waste to do use that action for it, as they work in 3.4" STANDARD length actions

but, great rounds

This is the 2.99" vrsion from South Africa but i tink th 48Lott i good enou fo hee e don' hav ht problms. DAN

I own the CZ 550 American Safari 458 Lott. Thats a fine Rifle to shoot. My stock is Laminated. It doesn't kick bad at all 74 ft lbs
shooting the 500gr SP bullet at 2280 FPS

The 3" Express is what those in Africa need using Somchem powders to reach top end 458wm, medium 458 Lott performance we can acheive with our powders.

I see my post did not come out clearly. I have decided on a Lott to go along with my Whitworth .458WM because i can see it works for our cooler climate[only doing it cause the 602 action is so long. Dan

Isnt "Climate" a thing of the past with modern powders?
