Rigbymauser,
SIMPLEX here in Oz make a few more dies than they have advertised - worth a try mate.
I have more than a few of their dies including the 577/450 Martini Henry, all are of very good quality to say the least.

Can 2-3/8” or 10.3x60 dies work with the expander removed or dialed back?
My 450/400 3” dies can be used to form 3-1/4” brass this way.

Re: WTB. 450/400 2 7/8" reloading dies.

I was thinking to cut .450 nitro brass down to 73mm...the ram them up into a 450/400 3¼" die. It seems that the .450/400 Purdy and the 450/400 3¼" express has the body only the 3¼" case has lo ger neck.

I have looked through gun and cartridgebooks I have and no 450/400 2 7/8" shows up with case specs. George Hoyem books has the cartridge shown but skips the case specs.(thats was actually the only case where case specs wasnt there.)
