Yes Mick, they are different cases, and what you end up with is acentually a wildcat, that is formed by fireing a slightly shortened, factory Flanged case in the H&H chamber that has had the belt area is removed,bushed, and re-cut. Sort of like a 375 Flanged improved! Still you have a flanged cartridge instead of a belted rimless one, and ballistics are about the same. Here are the numbers, in inches! 375 Flanged/ 375 H&H Mag case length 2.94 ............ 2.850 head dia .511 ............ .513 Rim dia .572 ............ .532 neck dia .404 ............ .405 neck length .444 ............ .300 shoulder Lgth .096 ............ .197 body angle .794 ............ .705 loaded length 3.08 ............ 3.60 belt dia N/A ............ .532 rim thick .05 ............ .o49 shoulder angle 13.47 .......... 7.95 Shoulder dia .450 .......... .460 case capacity 97.21 .......... 96.37 grs water The 450 NE 3.25" or the 450#2 either will completely clean out the 458 Win Mag chamber, so it is a no brainer, but sometimes needs re-regulateing! Most times they don't, because they push their bullets at about the same speed. |
