More importantly, were they castrated first?

Let me tell you about a little sandy island off the coast of South Carolina some time...

The rotary magazines are very specific, size wise. Based on CIP dimensions, the .458 Lott is COAL of 91.44mm and a case length of 71.12mm. The Win Mag is COAL is 84.84mm, and case length of 63.50mm. I don't think that COAL will fit in the magazine itself, and I'm not even sure it will fit in...
