What twist rate should a 458 Lott be?
 
1 in 14 should do the trick
 
Ok I just purchased a couple 458 Douglas barrels and I believe the twist rate is slower than that.
Thank you.

You need to check the bullets you plan to use. At the end of the day, they dictate the twist rate required.

Some will be 1 in 16. For black powder slower and much slower.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
