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.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
