I built and shoot a #2 so I'm biased. Have taken quite a bit of game with it including some long-range shots, eg: Sable at 208 yards. The beauty of it is that it's one of those huge cartridges that Robert Ruark described as "panatella-sized" and you'd feel confident if you held two between the fingers of your left hand while facing Tyranosaurus Rex!

Because more is not less. I'm biased too, also having one. And if one has a NE, it needs to be impressive, not some short shit cartridge.

On a serious note, I did note when once buying brass from Bertram for both .450 No. 2 NE and .577/.450 Martini-Henry, that BOTH cases were the most expensive in his price catalogue.
