I just had probably the worst day of shooting I've had since the first time I picked up a rifle.  I bought some new DG ammo for the 458 WinMag.  The WinMag is certainly not as accurate as the Lott.  Best I could do is 3rnds in 1in at 100.  I decided to zero them both at 100, so I moved to the Lott with open sights.  The first two rounds were touching each other right on the edge of the bull.  I made the mistake of firing 3 more.  They were all around outside edge of the x ring, but they sure were spread out.  No wind, perfect weather conditions, just plain poor shooting.  


I just thought of something... for over a year, every shot I've taken has been left handed.  For some reason, today, I shot right handed.  Didn't do it consciously, just did...  I usually trade out about every other range session, but for some reason got on a left handed kick.  Wonder why I just shot right handed???  Wonder if I am just out of practice right handed?

Last night, right before bed, my daughter asked me "Dad, why DO you need two .458's?"  I had to think for a minute and realized why.  I said, "because sometimes you don't need enough power to knock down anything that walks on the planet... just enough to knock down anything that walks on North America... but it's always good to have the former handy."  She said "Oh" and went to bed.

Dan is there really that much of a difference between the two, win mag or Lott?

Hmmm, somehow missed this. 
There is a 0.300 in difference in case size and it makes a huge difference in powder capacity.  I've not found anything in WinMag that I think kicks particularly hard.  The Lott, if not treated respectfully, can put blue marks on both sides of your shoulder... and everything in between.

Thank you, Trays.  I really like it, but find it a bit "tame"...
