450 3 1/4

I just received a 100 lot of brass from down under and am wanting to start trimming cases for reloading. Somehow I misplaced the loading data for my Heym 88B Safari rifle. If someone would be gracious enough to supply me what the case length, overall cartridge length, and any favorite/pet loads for their 450 3 1/4 double I will be eternally grateful. Thanks, Mike

According to the A-square manual...for the 450 N.E. 3 1/4"...trim to length 3.240", OAL 3.950".

I do not have a 450 3 1/4" but I do have a 470NE it likes H4831sc...A-square list loads for the 450 3 1/4" for H4831 95grains to 101grains with A-square cases, CCI-250 primers...they also list IMR 4350 and RL19 as powders...if you want more info. from the A-square manual let me know...or get one

480gr. Woodleigh Soft points and 95grs. of IMR 4831
480 gr. Woodleigh FMJs and 86 grs. of RL15 work best in my gun.
Mine is a modern gun, so, use the usual precautions.

The Trophy Bonded Bear Claw has a full caliber homogenous shank and is, therefore, a mono-metal bullet, which is not a good idea in a DR. I suggest Woodleigh softs and solids.

I too like Trophy Binded Bearclaws. They are one of my favorite bullets in the 308. The last 2 elk I killed with my 300 Win Mzag were with 200 gr TB. I like the Federal facto0ry 375 load with the 250 gr TB for black bear. I have not shot one with it yet but I have used it on two hunts.
I shot 2 buff in 2004 [450 No2] and recovered a 480 Woodleigh Soft, and 2 Swift 500 gr A Frames.
Both performed perfectly.
i also recovered some solids shot into the buff and the 3 elephant I killed. They too performed perefectly.
In the Nitro Expresses the Woodleigh Softs and Solids are perfect.
