Did Krieghoff...
Ever make the Big 5 in 450 NE? I can only see the 450/400 in searches.

They custom made several calibers.
I have seen 416 Rigby, 458 Win Mag, and 45-70.

Yes, they did.
On special order, no problems.
(I know that, because I know the manufactur witch makes al of the barrels for their doubles...)

If you can find one in 458 Win Mag, I believe
it can be re-chambered to 450 NE. Contact
JJ at Champlin Arms. I vaguely remember that
he may have done some in the past.
