CZ 550 .458 Lott

This is the thread I started.

I would look at the rim of your brass. One thing I noticed was the cases had large gashes from the extractor. Sanding the extractor (not the bolt face) helped immensely. I wish I would have done this first before any modifications to the feed ramp.

Another modification to improve feeding requires removing the barrel. The portion of the barrel that meets the action on the chamber side is square cut. Removing the barrel and turning it on a lathe so that the squared end becomes an angle that feeds into the chamber will help with feeding round nose bullets like Hornady

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
