I thought I was buying a Stevens Grant 450-400 @ great price
#395513 - 04/01/26 03:47 AM

I thought I was buying a Stevens Grant 450-400 - great price - SURPRISE SURPRISE

Here is the link ... great British gun at a good price at only $3999 .... ($3500 with my Cabelas club points)

https://www.gunsinternational....cfm?gun_id=103408175

I was concerned if this was going to be the 450-400 smaller 2-3/8" case .. or the 450-400 larger 3-1/4" case ...

When I picked up the gun I took along a 3-1/4" case to test the chambers ...... THEY LITERALLY DISAPPEARED IN THE CHAMBERS ...

TURNS OUT ITS A 3" 500 CALIBER .....

Yes, that is nice. A friend's .500 BPE really shined on the range with a case full of BP and the 450Gr. Lyman .50/70 bullet, #515141.
This bullet:

Lee also makes this mould and would be less than 1/2 the price of a Lyman mould.
Lee's:

The 500gr. mould looks like it might be a good one for my Hammer air rifle.
I bought a .510" bullet sizer die from Lee and it works well on all my bullets casting larger than that.

Steven Grant! what a find. One of the best gunmakers of the time in my opinion. The engraving is spectacular.
