Awesome; I am considering reaming my No. 3 for the .458 RCBS but I have a good bit less barrel than you as mine is only 21". I have been looking around for info and there seems to be some confusion from my sources: I see some 3 1/4" references and then I see some saying that it is 2.6". From whom did you get your brass, dies, reamer work, etc,?

45 RCBS is the same as 45/120/3.25" Sharps. Only difference is the RCBS is designed with higher intensity smokeless loads in mind. Mine weighs 11lb with its 28" octagonal x 1 in 14" twist barrel. Believe me, I would not shoot this monster in anything less than a 10lb rifle.

Barrel was a shilen blank that was milled oct, RCBS dies, 45 Basic brass. Don't forget to order a trim die as most case trimmers won't fit 3.25" cases and trim to length.
