.458 win mag brass

[adkennedy03]

Greetings all,

I see that midwayusa no longer carries any 458 win mag brass but they do still stock 458 Lott brass. This begs the question, can Lott brass be converted to win mag brass by trimming and resizing? Curious if anyone here has done it. In case anyone’s wondering I have an M1917 in 458 win mag, and I suppose I could have it converted to a Lott and I’ve thought about it but it would be a bit of work to get the magazine to work right. Again, just curious if anyone has tried this.

I don't see why not. Trim Lott brass to 2.5" and aneal before resizing.

A 10 second Google search revealed .458 Win brass in stock at grafs dot com
I really prefer Grafs over Midway...

Ditto Mark A Ouellette on the brass conversion.
No problemo.
Get a mini-chopsaw from Harbor freight to speed things up in whacking off the Lott brass to roughly 2.5"
then FL size and finish trim to 2.500".
You do not need to go all the way down to 2.490" if your rifle is SAAMI correct.
The SAAMI .458 WIN MAG chamber is 2.520" long.

Raven Rocks had some Lehigh .458 WinMag brass recently but all us fans bought it up pretty quick.

Grafs must have gotten a larger stock of Quality Cartridge .458 WM brass if they still have that in stock.

Raven Rocks is doing much good lately. Speedy delivery of internet orders.
They got some .500 Jeffery Norma brass in stock recently.
It was still "in stock" there as of yesterday.
