All, I've just bought an 1888s P. Webley double in .450 BPE, and I want to make sure I buy the right components for it.

I was simply going to buy a batch of Hornady .450 NE brass and either Hornady or RCBS 3-die sets (since I want to have the expander die in case I go the paper-patch route).

I wanted to ask those of you who have experience with this caliber if this is an OK choice. I know there were some variations early on in the chamber dimensions and rim thickness, and short of having a chamber cast made I'd like to know what in your experience may be the best choice for components.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
