300 win mag case to 458 win mag
anyone with any experience loading a 300 win mag with a starting load of powder and about a 150 gr bullet then firing it in a 458 win mag to open up the case then run the case thru a 458 sizer, I am thinking about doing this as 458 case are impossible to find. Norma, Hornaday are not making them anymore for reloading and I am going to buy factory ammo just for the cases. I did this before with the 375 HH case to make Lott cases years ago never tried 300 to 458 before. any thoughts? thanks for the help Jim

they do not have any in stock and do not have a production date based on up coming demand

can be done -- might take a could neck up steps, like 338, 358, 375, 46 expander buttons-- and ANNEAL the brass a couple times

easier to start with hh basic brass or 375

I have made .375 H&H AI outa .300 H&H cases with one annealing and progressively larger expander buttons so I don't see why not.

I would advise every time you neck up bump the expander button into the case a couple of times instead of one quick push and of course lube the inside of the neck.
