Okay... we ALL know X psi pressure has a lower velocity than the same X in cup, right? Then what do this line mean, on the remington site for the 45/70 double? http://www.spartangunworks.com/specs_rc.htm
CIP PSI for 45/70 is 31800, and SAAMI Cup is 28 K, for the same number. in any event, that's remington 405s at 1800+...

Jeff-At those pressures CUP and PSI are about the same depending on who did the testing, etc.For SAAMI. CIP different equipment, calibration, etc.Different group of companies setting the standards.Ed MZEE WA SIKU | |||

Ed, yep, and 31+ and 28k are "close".. the 31+ is the euro PSI for the 45/70. 28kcup is the old method. either way, i'll take it jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I had typed up a whole reply asking why it was worth it to spend the money on a SxS that cannot be loaded up for petter performance(I.E. Garrett +P loads), then it came to me. Even the real traditional SxS rifles chambered for stuff to take to Africa is not loaded to go as fast as they can, so what difference does it make? Forgive me, because for a moment I envisioned myself as being one with tons of stamina, and an iron shoulder. Even though you cannot shoot rounds that will penetrate tanks with the Rem SxS, I hope the rifle is a decent shooter to be worthy of my hard earned cash. | |||

Jeff-Gixxer- And if I had one it would become a 450 NE-- Then the with the 15 ton(31k) loads it would be a poor mans NE.Handle it easy. Or set up extractor for my baby wildcat.Ed. MZEE WA SIKU | |||

Does the 450 NE get more MV for the same given chamber pressure(handloaded to get that pressure of course)than the 45-70? | |||

I think the bullet that could really shine in this rifle, would be the Hornady 350gr RN. The bullet will be light enough to get a high enough velocity to open up pretty well, and the price is not bad either. Or you could go high-tech, and use the North Fork 350gr FP. With the rifle only weighing 7 1/2 lbs, recoil should be OK.

Jeff- No we don't have a 450 #2 reamer. That would be a good cartridge also. I used two 450 NE reamers to regrind to my 458HE. Gixxer- Yes at same pressures, 31k, the 450 NE would be way above a 45-70.Like 500 gr at 2100 plus fps.Ed. MZEE WA SIKU | |||

For any Canadians, I'm advised by the local gun shop that this rifle won't be coming to Canada. Apparently Remington can't bring them in because Canada already has a Baikal dealer, and that dealer has decided not to import this rifle. ![]() ![]() | |||

Fisher, your locacl guy would be right, if this was a "baikal" product anymore.. while it's made in a factory owned by baikal, it's a remington. 800 243 9700 is remingtons number, i think jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

jeffeosso, CUP and psi measurements do cross. Also CUP gets fuzzy below ~ 28,000. It also gets fuzzy above ~ 50000. The reasons have to do with the copper coupon used, namely it's exponential (plastic) deformation characterists. This is why LUP is used for lower pressure cartridges. PSI is a far more accurate and modern scale. Ed, 31000 psi won't get a 450 NE 3.25" to launch no 500 gr pill at 2100 fps. Just won't happen. The original ballistics for the 450 NE 3.25 ran a 480 bullet at 2150 fps operating at ~ 49,000 psi. The 450 NE No2, a much larger case operates around 38000 to 40000 psi to get 2150 with a 500 gr pill. A 458 Win mag can get a 480 gr pill to 2160 fps at ~ 62000 psi. These are all average peak pressures. Individual pressure may be as much at 15% to 20% higher! Overload the Remington double at your own risk! ASS_CLOWN | |||

Scotty, pretend it's YOUR 405... no te manchas, guey.. yes, scotty, oncce again you have restated the conversation to appear to be part of it... CIP calls the 45/70 31,800 psi.. saami calls it 28k cup.... the gun is made in europe.... which load do you THINK it would be? which load did remington say it would be built to in a call from me? jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Jeffe Any news on there arrival? I saw one of the single shots today. If the doubles are built as nice they will be a very nice gun for the price. Got my FFL watching out for one for me. I am nuts but the 30-06 looks interesting to me. Maybe because I have a 45/70 double now. Dean | |||

I wonder how much trouble/expence, in sleeveing this thing to, 405Win, 450-400 3", 375H&H Flanged, or 9.3X74R ? With a smaller rim, ought to be able to run up higher chamber pressures safely, moving a 300-400gr bullet at a higher velocity. Than the same weight with the 45-70. This should produce better terminal performance. May be less expence than buying a Kodiak in 9.3X74R, and it would be hammerless.

Hi Jeff, You may have to order two of those so I can pick one up. I'm having trouble believing that Remington won't bring them into Canada. That would make a fun hog hunt wouldn't it. Take care, Dave | |||

Ac-Where did you find info that NE calibers were loaded to 49,000 psi.When I developed my 458HE built from 450NE brass I tried 3 inch case,and a 3.25 inch case, as well as final long length. In 3.25 inch one I got over 2500 fps with DB Ball at peak pressure of 50k.All info on NE calibers in the books, about factory loadings, were 30-35k, that I have read about. MZEE WA SIKU | |||

Ed, Most if not all the NE cartridges are/were loaded to 39,000 to 49,000 psi maximum average pressure (probably higher considering Cordite's properties and the accuracy of pressure measuring back around 1900). Consult CIP and/or A Square and you will get an education as to what the pressure specifications are. I am not saying that you could handload some of the NE cases to lower pressure for the same muzzle velocity. That can be done for sure with many of the NE cases. What I am saying is that ammunition manufacturers have to pay for that powder, so they will opt to use the fastest powder they can to achieve the required muzzle velocity while remaining below the maximum average and maximum individual pressure(done by statistical analysis of the load aka Standard Deviation of pressure). A Square in particular is fond of using slow powders to fill the NE case and keep pressures, generally in the mid 30 ksi range. This isn't common though with factory produced ammunition and DEFINITELY NOT the case with the original Cordite loads. ASS_CLOWN | |||

In the 3.25 inch one I did starting load of 105 gr of W760 got about 2200 and cases fell out, and didn't need resizing.And by my formula were about 30-34,000 psi.Long barrel.I have seen many references to NE cases with pressures of 14 to 17 tons of pressure, thats long tons. In Book of Rifles, the first 303 cases of the same era as when 450 NE came out, showed only 16 tons.And compared to NE they were considered high pressure. Everywhere you read about reloading NE cases, they say that they can't be loaded to 40 to 50 k.If you take formula based on bullet thrust, for velocity and put in the info you will come up to the velocity I have gotten-- Vel = sq root of ( {Bullet Thrust x bullet travel x 38000} ...divided by bullet wt)... And my regular formula using powder and bullet wts, with expansion ratio factors, which I have put on here a while ago..Ed. MZEE WA SIKU | |||

I would not want to shoot a 7.5 lb. rifle with Nitro Express ballistics, ie. a 480 to 500 grain bullet at 2150fps. Even if the Remington double is strong enough to take the increase in recoil, I think it would be very uncomfortable to shoot. All the Nitro doubles I have shot weighed over 10 lbs, with some weighing up to 11.75lbs. There is a difference between the recoil of a 10 poundish rifle and a 11 poundish rifle. In fact my Ruger No1 with a 400 grain bullet at 1800fps seems to kick more than my 450 No2 with 480/500 grain bullets at 2150. Even if the "steel" on the Rem 45/70 double is strong enough the stock/action bedding might not take the increased recoil. I may have to get one of these 45/70 doubles my self, but I will keep in 45/70. If the rifle will take the same loads as the Marlin Lever it will kill any NA game for sure. A Garrett or Core Bon factory load, or equivilent handload, will have all the recoil and killing power a fella needs in a 7.5lb rifle IMHO. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

450--Your right about recoil and I'd like one but it would be weighted up to handle heavier loads and/or calibers.Nice thing about us big bore nuts, is we can fix them for what we need.They'd be good for 45-90, 45-120 also.Ed. MZEE WA SIKU | |||
|

Ed, Going to 45-90 or 45-120 would be great, if you wanted to go to black powder. Which could be a lot of fun, ie: BPE type loads. Hog Killer IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||
