Hi Gentlemans;
I know that this post is for the reloading forum, but here, are the Double Rifle experts, that shurelly can help me.
Today I received 40 unfired bertram brass from Huntingtong & the .450 NE Nº2 Dies from RCBS, but for my surprise, the shellholder was not include. I tried hard to found on RCBS & Hornady websites, but nothing , just in Midway the RCBS & under special order status 90+days . I have not clear wich is the right shellholder nº in each brand, I did not find in any s.h. chart. as well.
Hornady or RCBS are OK, but must be the right for my brass and of the best quality x 2 units.(just in case of rupture)
Somebody can help me to find the right s.h.? Many thanks: Guille.

Just contact Huntingtons, and order [I recommend two] shell holders for the 450 No2.

No other shell holder will work, as far as I know...

Guaaaauu You are very fast !!!, many thanks !!! tomorrow (here are 2;20 am ) I will contact the people from Huntingtons and I will ask to a USA friend that will travel to my country soon, that bring to me the shellholders, thanks a lot I owe all of You a Beer. Many Thanks.

Mr. N E 450 No2, I presume that You have a 450NE Nº2 rifle? I am right? Maybe I will bother You in the future asking some loads recipes "factory like" with Aliant R15 or R22 powder(The only in my country) and .458/500 grains JSP Hornady bullets. Thanks K.Rgs. GUILLE

De nada amigo!

You might as well ask if they have any of the NEW Jamison 450 #2 NE brass you'll be needing also.

Guillermo

Yes, order the shell holder and Jamison brass from Huntington's. You might want to have Huntington's send the SH back to RCBS to add a primer relief groove. There should be no additional charge for this and may help you down the line.

Can you get RL 15? If so, my .450 No.2 regulates with 89 gr. RL15 and 480 gr. Woodleigh softs. This yields 2100 FPS instrument velocity. I use 1 grain less with Woodleigh solids.

Don't forget the filler! I use backer rod which I cut to length.

Many Thanks I will, but I think that the 40 unfired cases just received from Bertram will be enought for now. Thanks again Guillermo.

Ok, Good advice on Shellholder , On R15...Yes I reserved 6 pounds of R15 because is hard to find in Argentina, no more for the .308 the B.A. Ruger only will eat factory ammo from now.
Just one more thing this is backer rod?
http://www.bestmaterials.com/Backer_Rod.aspx
What about 5 or 6 grains of Dacron (polyester fiber...pillow sintetic stuffing)
What ammo manufacturer use as filler material? Many thanks to all. Guille

I have used dacron filler in the past with no problems.

Yes, that is the backer rod to which I am referring. Available in most building supply stores ( Lowe's here in the U.S. ) in 1/2" and 5/8" diameters. A 20' roll costs about $4.

Good luck.

Don

I uss 88 gr of RL 15 with the 480 gr Woodleigh Softs and Solids, the 500gr Swift A Frame, the Hornady 500gr RN [old style] and the Hornady 500gr Solid[old style steel jacketed], and with my 75% rule with the 350gr Hornady RN.

Actually most of the time I use 81gr of IMR 3031 with the 350 Hornady RN as I have a bunch of it on hand. It works well with the heavier bullets as well, but i like RL 15 for them best.


When I use the North Fork 450gr FN and Cup Point bullets, I use 89 gr of RL 15.

You must use filler with RL 15.

I use either 5 gr of Dacron, or a foam filler I cot out with a 50 cal Browning machine gun case, sharpened with a chamfer tool.
