    While not a long range cartridge, I just thought others might in intrigued... or at least this is a way to start the year off with a bang.

    Mr. Rumore has made them in 26 Nosler and a 33 Nosler, as well.

    The .458 Lott is a brute of a cartridge. Making around 4800 ft/lbs with a 300gr bullet.. and around 5800 ft/lbs with a stiff 450gr load.

    FWIW...I have fired a 500gr Hornady FMJ through 39" of solid pine.

    And making in run in a "AR" platform is impressive.

    Tony Rumore is a SME in Large Bore AR's, and now apparently, really big large bore AR's ... https://tromix.com/

    I have to admit, if this was available for purchase today.... I might really "want" one.

    Pretty impressive, I have a 500 Automax, I like it real well, I have yet to use it on any big game except a rock chuck last year, at about 50 yards it was like shooting a gallon can of red paint!
