JudgeG.450 NE brass or loaded ammo?
I need a source of .450 NE brass or ammo. I can find the Knoych, but they are mighty proud of it. Any alternatives? This if for the straight case, not No. 2. I have the newer, larger rim diameter rifle.

John SYou might check with Westley Richards, their store in Springfield, MO usually has a large stock of ammo on hand.

<jthessen>judgeg,
Try Westley-Richards for loaded ammo
This was shamlessly copied from their site.
.450 3 1/4" Nitro-Express
480 grain Soft Nose or Solid Bullet Muzzle Velocity 2150 ft/sec. Energy 4940 ft/lbs. BL 24"
Price: Box of 5 - Soft $45 Solid $49
Otherwise Huntingtons should be able to round up brass and bullets.
I think Norma have 450 basic, but i did not see it at huntingtons.
All the best

DaveCBuffalo Arms has both rim sizes at $45 per 20 and it is Bell Brass.

Bill/OregonJudgeg: I have both Bertram and HDS (made by Bell, I believe) that I got from Huntingtons.com for my Ruger No. 1 in .450 3.25 NE.

Jens I think the basic brass from Norma is a belted magnum basic, like 458 LOTT. Could be wrong though!
www.huntingtons.com has brass, and bullets for the 450 NE 3.25" ! both Bertram, and HDS

<jthessen>I was wrong.
The Norma 45 Basic is only 73mm long no belt,
drawing available at their site
Sorry

Hi judgeg,
Have you look at Mast Technologies site. They make brass for most of the old British doubles. There is a link to Mast on the Links page of my site.

<jthessen>Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but here it goes.
I called Norma with the question if the 45 Basic is 3.25" long. The guy I talked to said that he did not have a drawing available but he could send me a few samples,I thought my leg was being pulled but I received 6pcs of the 45 B in my mail today. Apperently they are an extended .45-70 case 73.4 mm long (why did I not ask for some 416�s instead?)
Oh well, just nice to be surprised i guess.
All the best
Jens
