the .450 # 2 is my prefference. Its such a nice looking cartridge....so big, thick rim. I already have a .450 3&1/4 ne reamer, but I would rather go with the # 2. The next question is who to get to engrave it like a Henry. I've been looking through my book and picking patterns. I was using an excellent engraver, but he is having health issues. I recently recieved a quote of 6-12K....ouch, thats out of my league. I think I'll add a stalking safety....why go half way when you can go full monty. Should be a fun gun.
