Bullets are easy to come by. Midwayusa, Woodleigh .408 bullets Hawk Bullets Be sure that you order the .408, because they do offer the .411 bullets. The Hawks a softer and will require less powder to achieve the required velocity. I would reccomend use use RL-15 and Dacron filler for your loads. I'm not sure about brass. If you can find some BeLL by Mast around, buy em up. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Fred, Until it turns up, you can get some 450 NE 3-1/4" brass and neck it down and trim it. That is of course the origin of the 450/400 NE 3-1/4". They have the same 0.040" "thin rim." I just ordered some Horneber .450 NE 3-1/4" from Huntington's. They have that. It ain't cheap, something over $50 for 20 pieces, but it is Horneber, good as it gets. Surely there must be some Horneber .450/.400 NE 3-1/4" in the pipeline somewhere.  | |||
