The Federal Safari Sledgehammer Solid .458 Lott 500gr load (Federal part no. P458LT2) is built around a 500-grain bullet and rated at 2300 fps at the muzzle. The Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer Solid bonds its core to a thick jacket for deep penetration, and its flat nose minimizes deflection for a straight wound cavity. A grooved shank improves accuracy across rifle platforms, and the nickel-plated case, specially formulated powder and Gold Medal primer are there for dependable function. It is a solid for hunters who need a bullet that holds its path through heavy bone and muscle. This Federal box holds 20 rounds, enough for a sight-in and a day afield.
