I've always wondered whay there was no .450 3" NE. You have 3.25" and 3" versions of almost everything else.

.400 NE = 3" and 3.25
.500 NE = 3" and 3.25
.577 NE = 3" and 3.25

But it seems that the 3" versions of these ctgs are more popular that thier 3.25" counterparts.
The .600 NE is only in 3"

Also it seems all the other .450 class cartridges are only in 3.25" (.470, .475, .465)

I think the .476 NE Westley Richards was 3". But I wonder why no one gave the same treatment to the other calibres in the same class.

Has nobody blown out the .400 jeffery and done a .450 3" NE? Or necked down the .476 WR?

Of course I realize that "wildcatting" DR cartridges is quite a bit more difficult than making alterations to commercially avaliable bolt actions.
