So all he had to do was take the end of chamber off a 450 Watt's chamber then puts his name to it. Call me a cynic
Yes. The Watt's Reamer was changed from the 90 into a 45 degree angle of of the case length on the reamer to a 2 or 3 steady degree angle is all.
The Watts was heralded as being such that you could shoot the 2 1/2" .458 Win Mag rounds in it if need be, but the shaved guilding metal had to be
removed before you could chamber & shoot the full length rounds. That was sometimes difficult to so without a chambering reamer.
Jack "fixed" that problem & his chambering of course, allowed the extra ballistics over factory quotes for the .458 Win. Mag.
