First funny, no bolt action .450 was created until the .458 Win Mag some 50 years later. When the NE cartridges were dying ...





What Was the lonnnngggggg actioned bolt rifle chambered in .450 Nitro?




Daryl,
Check the first part of this thread where I mention the Cogswell & Harrison CERTUS. They were available in .450 Nitro; given the relatively short life of the CERTUS, and the early 1900's ban on .450 in India and Sudan, I'm not sure how wide spread they were.
Most surviving CERTUS rifles seen these days seem to be .450/.400 3 1/4" Nitro.
