I see you have about 19 vids total there. Are they all with your Lott?

Also what kind of load are you using? From what little I could see you didn't seem to be affected much by the recoil.

I ask because I am contemplating what starting loads I ought to work up in my CZ550 .458 Lott.

I used to always use 79grs of H4895 and 500gr molly coated bullets which gave around 2250-2275fps.I now shoot 78grs.I found recoil more difficult to handle if I did not put the stock butt more towards the inside of my shoulder.The Ruger lott was used in almost all of the vids.I am going to try to shoot my CZ 458wm this afternoon.I loaded up 60rds with 73grs of AA2230 and the 500gr DGX.I just received a replacement NECG front sight(white bead) yesterday,the original just flew off while shooting.The little push button release behind the front sight is too soft for recoil,IMO.I used acraglass on it last night to prevent it from surpressing under recoil.Lately I am a happy man because all of my rifles are shooting to the same POI and are accurate!
