airgun1pre 64 Win 70 to 458 Lott from a 375 H&H
I have an extra H&H length action and have been wondering what to do with it. I have a 375 H&H and a 416 Rem, both of which feed/function just fine.
Does a 458 Lott made on a pre 64 H&H length action typically feed/function just fine as is or do the rails need some tweaking? What are others results?

Jim KobeI am almost sure the rails would need work.
Just send me the action and I will send you some Minnesota snow to cover your shipping.

airgun1I think our PA snow is just as white as yours. We aren't experiencing a shortage in my neck of the woods. I guess I will pass. I thought it would take some tweaking. This action is too clean to be messing with. I will just either make the short 375 that I have been kicking around or hang onto it until a pristine original barrel surfaces.

AfricanHunterMy pre-war .375 feeds dummy .458 lotts up in the chamber a slick as can be. Maybe others won't

xausaMy pre-64 Model 70, which started life as a .375 H&H is now a .450 Watts, and I have never had the slightest feeding problem. I assume the Lott would be the same.

fla3006I just repeated AfricanHunter's result. My 50's vintage pre64 375 feeds Lotts from the magazine with no problem.

airgun1I went ahead and made another 375 H&H.

There is no such thing as having too many 375 H+H's.
