The gunsmith started work on a .458 express Im building.This will be a long six months!:cool:
 
Sounds like you just might be excited about that rifle?

Gunsmith started and YOU are building??? Please explain.
 
Brickburn,the gunsmith is doing the work and Im putting it together in my imagination!
 
Some guys actually calls it the .458 three inch.To be precise it is actually 2.99 and takes about 8 grains more powder than the lott.
 
A buddy of mine contemplated putting one together.
(it never got done)

Inexpensive 3" cylinder brass was available in large lots, making reloading cheap and avoiding time consuming and meanial case trimming work.

8 more grains capacity over the 458 Lott cartridge gives you a formidable round.


Good luck with the build.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
