Make sure you ream out the case neck before you seat the bullet. 450/400 has a long neck and you maybe pushing the shoulder back. A little lube inside the neck may also help.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
