458 Lott Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 458 Lott with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

458 Lott reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)62,500 psi
Nominal case capacity110.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.458 in (11.63 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.458 500 gr DGS
Powder
Alliant RL-15
Charge
67.6 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

1,833 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

29,293 – 35,283 – 41,373 psi

nominal is 56% of the 62,500 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
