African PH Karl Stumpfe uses one built on a Vektor action. About the same as a 450 Dakota...around 2,450 fps with a 500gr bullet. | |||

Jam: I have a 450 Dakota. Fantastic rifle. Wayne at American Hunting rifles built if for me. If you want a beautiful custom 450 Rigby for not too much money, give Wayne a call. I shoot 450 grain TSXs out of mine at 2400 fps with no problem. If I was doing it again, I would go with the Rigby and put a removable brake on it. They do churn up some pretty good recoil.

I intend to send my Lott to AHR for rechambering to .450 Rigby, as soon as I finish up a few more projects. To my way of thinking, it's the king of the .45s. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

That'll juice it up a bit! Jim Kobe is stocking a Waffenfabrik Hein for me in 450 Dakota, and adding a quarter rib, barrel band, etc. Should be done pretty soon. | |||

Dave, my W Hein does have a removable brake, but last time I checked, I wasn't a HOMO !!!! :-) | |||

LOLOLOL.... Biebs, give the 450 grain TSXs a try. I can help you with load data if you need some. P.S. I told Paul not to let you shoot his 600 so you would buy another .577 or 600  Dave DRSS Chapuis 9.3X74 Chapuis "Jungle" .375 FL Krieghoff 500/.416 NE Krieghoff 500 NE "Git as close as y can laddie an then git ten yards closer" "If the biggest, baddest animals on the planet are on the menu, and you'd rather pay a taxidermist than a mortician, consider the 500 NE as the last word in life insurance."
