Case has his .450 KNR for the Ruger No. 1. A fantastic cartridge idea. The .470 3-1/4” necked to .458”.
I need .500 NE 3” cases. I can go about making them from this readily available .416/500 NE. I can trim to 3” and expand. Maybe blow out as a blank then trim. But what an ear shattering violent use of bunches of pistol powder! I’ll tinker with it. I like the looks of the big, rimmed, .416! There are several larger caliber sporting rounds that did not get much press. The .370 Sako, .400 H&H, and this .416, just to name a few. A bit much for the high B.C. .22 and 6.5mm crew. lol. But when you need a big hit, you need it.

Have you tried making 9.3x74R into 405 Win cases (nm)
