1885:
In reply to:
By the way, does anyone have the factory OAL for the .450/.400 3-1/4" NE?
Bill Fleming probably measured more than anyone, and lists the OAL of the NE cartridge as 3.857 min, 3.875 max.
He lists the BPE cartridge as 3.783 min, 3.800 max.
The non-express BP cartridge he measured was 3.685.
George Hoyem, on the other hand, is a 'lumper', and gives the range for all variants of .450/.400 3 1/4 as 3.57 to 3.87 inches.
Hope this helps.
