Got My 450/400!!!
      07/03/05 10:37 AM

Finally took delivery of my C. W. Andrews. Ltd. .450/.400 3-1/4" hammergun. It is in much better condition than the pictures and is quite tight overall. The rifling is strong with no pitting and it's proofed as the 400EX with 60gr. Cordite and a 400gr. bullet. It also came with some new HDS cases and some .409" 400gr. softpoints.

I need to call Huntington to see about the dies so I can get started. I am considering using paperpatch bullets as well as jacketed softpoints.

I still haven't found out much about Andrews. I wonder if they actually built guns or if they were a retailer that had their rifles built by other gunsmiths. It would be nice to know if this is an Andrews product or actually another maker's rifle.

I'm excited. I intend to use it this Fall for Whitetails here in Oklahoma. So, I'm thinking a lighter bullet might be in store if it will regulate with it. Any comments/thoughts from anyone is appreciated.

Terry
