Does anyone know where I can rent a reamer that is of the specs that the 458 Lott was when it was a wild cat ? I'm told that since the round became a standardized cartridge, that the throat is much shorter than it used to be. I want the original chamber specs with the longer throat.

No, but I can loan you a .458 throater.

I don't know a lot about reamers and or throaters but I assume what your getting at is that if the chamber is reamed for the standard Lott, then the throater will lenghten the throat to what I want. Do you know if the CZ 550 magazine will allow a longer OAL than what the standard Lott chamber allows anyway ? If it does, then using the throater will give me what I'm looking for.

If by referring to "original" you mean the .450 Watts, the case on it was a few thousandths longer as well.
If you were referring to .458 Lott all the way, then ignore my response.
