Federal Premium Safari 458 Lott ammunition delivers the stopping power and terminal performance you need for dangerous game hunting across Africa and North America. Built on a legacy of proven field results, this 458 Lott 500 grain Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer load pairs a bonded bullet design with the raw energy needed to anchor the largest and toughest game. Each 20-round box contains nickel-plated brass ammunition loaded to deliver consistent, reliable performance in situations where a second shot may not be an option.

The bonded jacket and core construction retains more than 95 percent of bullet weight, ensuring deep, straight-line penetration while dumping maximum energy on impact. At 2300 fps muzzle velocity and 5873 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load generates the terminal ballistics required for ethical, one-shot kills on heavy game.

Nickel-plated brass ensures reliable feeding and ejection even in harsh field conditions, and the consistent quality you expect from Federal Ammunition means you can focus on the stalk, not the ammo.
