looks like you've had another win Buckstix!
Do you have to use a filler with your load?
Another silly question mate, but can the 450/400 3" be resized for the 3 1/4"?

Hello 93x64mm

Thanks for your reply.

I use 1/2" diameter foam backing rod , cut to 1.2" long, as a filler. Its available at local hardware stores in diameters of; 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", and 1". I use it for all the cartridges where my loads don't fill the case. Its extremely light at less than 2 grains even in the bigger cases.

You CAN NOT use 450-400 3" cases to make 450-400 3-1/4" ammo. 450-400 3" cases have a bigger head diameter and a thicker rim.
