So getting 500@2400 fps could be doable within low-moderate pressure, no case sticking etc? | |||

Quickload says a 450 NE #2 can get 2400 fps with a 500 grainer at 48,000 PSI with H4831SC. | |||

Arrgh. That made me think about changing my order (not started build yet) from droplock break action in 450ne to fallingblock 450no2 regulated 500gr@2400 fps... hrrrm... | |||

The .450 No. 2 is very cool. Brass is available too.

Trying to forget that idea and stick with the plan... | |||

Go with the Falling block SxS. It's unstoppable... D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

Sounds like the 450No.2 is the logical answer. The thicker rim and base build will help with handling the high pressures you are looking for. "... A 500 grain bullet with an MV of 1900 fps has a poor reputation for performance on DG... A 500 grainer at 2100-2300 fps has an excellent reputation on DG..." Hmmm... That is something to ponder. | |||

The problem would be getting regulation ammunition supplied to Bailey... Unless someone trustworthy can reload 500@2400fps with say H4831SC for him to regulate with. I live in Norway and exporting reloaded ammo would not be feasible... | |||

I think the problem is you need a rifle to work up /test the load in before settling on a regulation load. Better solution have it built in .500 NE and go kill everything. After all you are building a .45 caliber and trying to make it shoot like a .500 Bill Member DSC,DRSS,NRA,TSRA A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way. -Mark Twain There ought to be one day - just one – when there is open season on Congressmen. ~Will Rogers~ | |||

Easy answer. Get a Ruger #1 in 450 NE and work up the desired load. And I'm not trying to make a 45 cal shoot like a 500, but I am trying to get optimum performance out of a 45 cal in a double. Optimum performance for a 45 cal, to me, is around Lott velocities, say a 500 grainer at around 2300 fps. | |||

I am absolutely Shure I don't want to be the one shooting that load in a Ruger #1. Full house .458 loads were all I wanted.
