Customer testimonial · .458 Lott
Ed,
I just wanted to pass on to you how absolutely thrilled and pleased I am with the 458 Lott ammo. It took a little longer for the modifications on my CZ 550 American 458 Lott to be completed. But it arrived a couple of weeks ago and I took it out to the range last Saturday.
The low recoil ammo performed flawlessly and really allowed me to get into my new gun without any concerns regarding kick. At 50 yards I was able to sight it in and the ammo held perfectly. You produce an excellent product.
I’m going to follow this email up with another order. Who would ever believe I would be looking forward to taking a 458 Lott out just for fun.
I look forward to doing business with you.

Nyati 458 Lott low recoil practice ammunition — Nyati .458 Lott low recoil practice ammunition

Dan Donarski · Outdoor writer

Practicing With the Big Bores

Donarski tested Nyati loads at 50 yards in a CZ .458 Lott and a Remington 700 .375 H&H. He found the reduced recoil made extended, accurate practice practical while retaining the same bullets used in the full-power loads.

.458 Lott recoil: Approx. 70 to 11 ft-lb
.375 H&H recoil: Approx. 47 to 8 ft-lb
Scoped .458 group: Under 1.25 in.

Point of impact differed from full-power ammunition, so each rifle still required its own sighting check.

Low Recoil Big Bore Practice Ammo

Writing from a professional hunter’s perspective, Doctari tested the .375 H&H, .416 Rigby, and .458 Lott. The central finding was simple: manageable practice encourages rifle familiarity and better first-shot placement.

Calibers tested: 3
Rounds per caliber: 20
Test distance: 50 meters

The reduced loads printed roughly 2–4 inches high in the test rifles; actual point of impact varies by rifle.

Nyati Big Bore, Low Recoil Practice Ammo

A 500-grain .458 Winchester Magnum load was tested from an FN/Browning Safari Grade rifle at 50 yards. Across 18 rounds, the report found consistent accuracy and recoil mild enough for productive practice.

Smallest group: 5/8 in.
Largest group: 1 7/8 in.
Mean group: 1.26 in.

The test load printed about 4–4.5 inches high and 1 inch right; point of impact depends on the rifle and sight setting.
