Re-reading the last sentence of my earlier post, I see it is a little difficult to follow.

My point was: going with the .500/450 No.1 Express round will likely cost about $350 more in brass, dies and reamer vs going with the more available .450BPE.
That is a cost I could afford, to make the gun more historically correct.

But, if the .500/450 No.1 Exp. chambering would also entail a non-standard barrel bore and custom sized bullets then it is probably not worth the cost and effort to me.

The hesitation on using the .500/450 No.1 came from seeing a cartridge dimension drawing showing a neck diameter of .490". Which appears rather large for a .458 bullet and got me concerned that the No.1 might be designed for a bore other than .458".

I want to confirm that the No.1 will work with todays standard .458 barrel and bullets.

As I said, it probably has more to do with the sizing of the available dies and reamers. Have to check with the suppliers and make sure all is OK before proceeding with the No.1 Express.
