450 N.E 3 1/4" 'thin rimmed'
      #45373 - 31/12/05 11:55 AM

I'm slowly making progress towards my first nitro rifle: a Ruger No.1 rechambered to 450 N.E. 3 1/4". I notice there are two rim sizes mentioned, or at least implied -- thin and fat(?). Which should I have my rifle chambered for?

Doug.

The only brass currently available is the "Thin Rim" @ .040 thickness and your gun has a .060 rim recess for the 45/70.
I am putting a new barrel in mine to get the best weight and twist combination. Dave

Dave;
Thanks. My No.1 is in 458 mag, not 45/70. I wasn't sure if I was going to be asked by a gunsmith which rim thickness in 450 N.E. I wanted. Sounds like it's .040". Thanks again.

Doug.

You already have the "good stuff". especially the heavy barrel. Good luck with the project. Dave
