I'll go back and re check his email to see if I missed details, thanks.

To those mentioning accuratereloading, ill go take a look.


Christopher;
For your data bank: Early in the life of the original .450 NE there was case extraction problems and these problems were enough to where one of the cartridge makers in England developed the .450 #2 NE that was a bottle necked cartridge and did not have the extraction problems. I seem to recall that the .450 #2 NE has lower chamber pressure than the the original cartridge.
