in such a hunting rifle from Wien in this time frame it would be a 450 BPE 3 1/4"
short on time now, please compare the measurments http://old.municion.org/450Ne/450Ne.htm
looking on your chamber cast it seems the German version, modern nitro express brass will not fit
more about it in the evening

Weird base on the ctg. plus no shoulder, just straight taper.
I would measure the bore diameter as well. ... A .45 3 1/4" case should work, with or without a brass ring/collar in front of the rim to take up the extra slop.

well, don't find my 1927 georg roth catalog just now
there it is, iirc, the 11,6x82R 450
this is the german-austrian version of the 450 3 1/4 BPE
the case follow the measurments of the older 450 BPE with coiled case http://old.municion.org/450/450Boxer.htm

there you see it the conical base with a long cylindrical body follow this old cartridge
I fear you need a special sizing die

Looks like Lancaster is on the money here.
I reckon you'll have it going soon enough

Appears you might be able to use .450 Nitro Express brass - or sleeved(at the base) .45 3 1/4" RCBS or Bell if it can be found.

Hello Daryl_S,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I plan on altering and using 450 bpe brass because I have a lot of it.
