Bent FossdalWell, it makes more sence than many other cartridges loaded in this superb rifle.
Ruger is really becomming
the American gunmaker, when all the others fail.
Keep up the good work!

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these 450/400NE 3" Ruger Tropicals, as well as one of the 9.3X74R Tropicals! Been biteing my fingernails while waiting for these two! This is certainly a pair for Alaska , and would be a nice pair for Africa as well! Now that Hornady is makeing factory ammo for the 450/400NE 3", and probably for the 9.3X74R as well, maybe Merkel will chamber their 140-2 Safari for the 450/400NE as well.

boom sticknfmike...
is there a release date projected for the 360 gr 411 softs and maybe a 411 solid for the advent of the new hornady supply of the 450/400 n.e. brass and the ruger #1 and the 400 h+h???
yes it would be a charity case but yood make a lot of people happy with the best.

Hog KillerNever been bitten by the #1 bug. But a 450-400 3" might just do it. Would fit in between my Lott and my 375 H&H project. Might get two and weld them together, the "We Band of Bubbas" way into the DRSS
