Federal Premium Cape-Shok .458 Lott ammunition (brand part no. P458LT2) loads a 500-grain Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer Solid bullet built for hunters who go after Africa’s most dangerous game. Federal designed the Cape-Shok line specifically for big-bore dangerous-game rifles, and the TBSS is a monolithic solid that holds its shape and drives straight through heavy bone rather than expanding. At 2300 fps, this load carries the momentum a .458 Lott is built for, giving Cape buffalo and elephant hunters a reliable follow-up round behind an expanding bullet. In rifle ammunition for true dangerous-game calibers, Cape-Shok is Federal’s answer for hunters who can’t afford a bullet that fails.
