[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 114611, member: 4785"] The 458 Lott would be a better option in my opinion. If you go over seas on a hunt and your ammo does not arreive for an unforseen reason you probably cant buy any ammo in 45 cal except 458 Win Mag and you can use it in the Lott without any trouble. It also allows you to use any left hand action that was designed for the 375 H&H. I know controled round feed can help but if you practice you will not need it. I have never double fed a bolt action rifle but have not been charged by dangerous game either. A left hand controled feed action might be hard to find i would look at a Rem action and the Lott. The straight cases are not hard at all to load for they are easier because you do not have to wory about shorteneng the headspace. Just size the cast then expand/flare the case mouth. Seat primer, measure powder. Seat and crimp the projectile. No hassles. This is a better option in my opinion and also place a Viass type brake on the end. Also have the extractor replaced with a new one to make sure it is not fatigued. Also the straight cases feed very well. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
