Have you considered handloading for the 450 NE No 2. You can get brass as well as bullets from Graf and Son and Midway USA. You can order Die sets from Huntington or Midway USA. You will also need a larger than standard reloading press. I have a RCBS Ammo Master reloading press. You will be investing a chunk of money to get set up but in the long run the savings will make it worth it.

The brass can be reloaded several times and this is not a caliber that you will be shooting in great volume. I can go to range and shoot 20 or 30 rounds out my 450 NE No 2 in one outing.

There is a decent amount of load data for the 450 NE No 2. I have data that I can post for you if are interested. I buy Kynoch foam fillers to keep the powder in place in the case and fill up the inside of this massive case.

Trying to find loaded ammo for this cartridge is a challenge and when you do the cost is steep. I would suggest you consider loading your own ammo. There is huge benefits in developing loads for your rifles as well. I have loaded for a 475 NE No 2 and I load for 450 NE No 2 now. It is not difficult to do and the savings makes it well worth it.

It's only 17 rounds, but it's an option:

Not to hijack the thread, but I think 17 rounds left out of 20 tells the story of someone that bought this, fired it, decided that this was not the rifle for them and is trying to make back whatever they can on the deal. Sorry, just an idle thought!

Dear John,

An old post I can see, but I'm interested in any reload data for the 450 nr. 2.
If you are still on the platform and can help me out with this, I would be much obliged.

Best regards,
JB
