I’ve been researching commifornia lead free bullets and got a box of Lehigh Extreme Penetrators that are sized .452. I know they will work in my 455GNR revolver but am hesitant to use them in the 450GNR. Will the .006 in a all copper bullet work in the 450GNR, or should I shy away from them?

.450 GNR needs at least a 0.457" bullet.

Barnes makes all alloy bullets in that diameter. Hornady might too, but they are not cheap.

Thanks WB! Got lots of Hornad in 350gr.

Been a bunch of years since I was heavy into reloading but have found some precious time, especially with a whole slew of new encore and G2 calibers to get me at the bench for some fun stuff!

I would go with Hornady over all the others. Steve

Hornady has been a good friend forever and when I told him I was planning a Cape Buffalo hunt this past March, he sent me a batch of his new DGX and DGS bullets. The DGX is his 500 grain expanding bullet and the DGS is his 500 grain solid. The buff was a monster but one of the DGX in .458 in the 450 GNR put him on the ground. A second one kept him there. I have used more Hornady bullets in my large calibers than any other brand. I swear by them.
