I think it will depend on your chamber. This should be doable, but if your chamber is a little on the large side of spec, then you will have to size the body of the case down a little more, and the 458 Win Mag case won't go down far enough. I would just try one and see. - Dan

George,
They worked with the Montana Rifleman barrel you almost bought from me, I later bought Hornady 458 Lott dies just because but the Win Mag dies do work.

George,

My Hornady 458 Lott die set has a generic (i.e. 45-70, 458 win) expander die. It is way to short in my RCBS Rockchucker Supreme. So short that it is almost impossible to use and I have to do it by feel.

I'm going to get either some CH4D or custom RCBS dies.

Here's a thread where I descibed the problems. Be fore warned, it's a bit of a read.

Take Care,

-Steve
