Re: 450 BPE Brass Fitment Issues

Quote:
My Alex Henry 450 NE had a tight chamber and a Lawson 450 BPE with the same issue. Both got
sent to JJ in Oklahoma to be reamed for modern brass. Simple around $200.00 each. My two Holland
450 BPE and a Rigby chamber modern brass. I've used 450 dies from CH4D, Hornady, and RCBS. RCBS won't make custom dies, and CH4D is one year waiting period. JJ has a fast turn around time.
I can appreciate what you say, but I'm not keen on altering vintage rifles. I believe in tailoring the ammo to the rifle, not vice versa. JMHO YMMV.
If the OP wants to send me a few sticks of his Hornady brass I would be glad to run it through my custom sizing die to see the result. I can almost guarantee it will fit. I expect his H&H was chambered to the same specs as my H&H. BTW, what is the s/n of your H&H? Mine is 8759.
