Can I shoot 458 Win Mag through a Bolt Action 458 Lott?

Phil Shoemaker says it can be done, just don't make a habit of it.

it will eventually erode the chamber in front of the 458winmag brass... making it hard to extract lott cases

Ok, thanks for the info. I can do it if I absolutley have to, but definitely not on a regular basis.



You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time.

I shoot alot of low intensity practice rounds (350gr @ 1500fps) Win Mag through my lott...and haven't noticed much difference in accuracy.

How may rounds do you estimate?
