Loads are in 500 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw and 500 gr Sledgehammer Solids loads.

Speer is still listing AGS, though they've announced TB Sledgehammers, too.

DanEP,

I was wondering when Federal was going to get around to offering the Lott.

D'Arcy Echols & Joe Coogan did some testing of the Lott for Federal last year during a TZ safari. See the thread below.

Lott shake down in Tanzania

I hope we get to read about it's testing and the hunt in a mag article.

Regards,
Dave

Sir,

I recall the "Lott shakedown" thread, and had been waiting for the news for a long time, too. I suspected they would wait for the Shot Show to unveil all their stuff, but it appears they let the bag open sooner. I'd asked the "ask the authors" on Campfire whether THEY were willing to disclose any news -- no takers. I suspect we'll hear about it soon.

ONE thing I'm interested in: I bought some TBBC 500 gr bullets, but was unable to get them to fit in my chamber. I haven't had similar problems with any of the other bullets I've handloaded for that rifle. I wonder if their TBBC loads will feed in my rifle...

I asked Speer, who referred me to a Federal tech guy. I have heard that the problem I've had is not unique. They have responded quite kindly to my situation.

They have to get them out the door first. They admitted to having the same problem I've had. I suspect that's why the Lott loads didn't show up at the SHOT show.
