I have one manual that lists loads for the .458 Lott, it's the Barnes Bullets Reloading Manual, Number One, Third Edition

Talon,

You can also go to http://www.accuratereloading.com/458lott.html for the loads they have posted there for the Lott.  Lawdog

talon,

You can also go to http://www.hodgdon.com/data/index.php and get the Hodgdon 2002 Basic Reloader's Manual is also available in PDF format.  This enables you to view or print the manual offline, and it looks just like the hard copy version.  It's free all you need is Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it and if you don't have that it is free also all over the net.  I don't know all of the different cartridges that they have there but it's a bunch.  Check it out.  Lawdog

The one manual all big bore shooters should have is A-Squares Any Shot You Want.  It does have 458 lott data, but unfortunately only with their 465 gr bullets.  I used RL 7 for 350 gr bullets, and got some accurate and mild recoiling loads in the 2400-2500 fps range.  The Lott is just a stretched 458 win mag, so you can use 458 win mag data for starting loads with the lott, and work up.
