The gunsmith started work on a .458 express Im building.This will be a long six months!
Is the .458 express a full 3" case ?

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.

Sir, I will gladly take that 16 gauge off your hands. I was waiting for your Winchesters but I'm a sucker for a 16 ga.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.
How much brass are you looking for?
