Jolly good show old chap! Call it by the British
method if you like.

Come on, RIP, I need a short, standard action that will heave a 500 gr. 458 bullet at 2300 fps. Get this 404/450 done so you can tell me whether it is possible!

This is the preferred English designation, not as Saeed's incorrect nomenclature of his 375/404. Smiler

Will,
404/450 Jeffery Short, 45/404 Dakota, tomahto, tomato. Seems Saeed has proven it can be done, with his 450 VS. Was that the 450 Vincent Short or 450 Very Special? It is on my list of to-do's, right after the "470/500 Mbogo" in the works.

We shall have some independent confirmation of Saeed's data, just as I did with the 404 Jeffery. You can believe his data for the 404 Jeffery too. thumb

Don't call me, I'll call you. Wink
