Wildcatter,
I have a question. I see alot of people doing different things with this cartridge, and trying to put it into other action types. From my posts on other topics and in my discussions with you previously, you know I am building 3 bolt rifles for the 450B. My question is this...Suppose a guy had an H&R Handi Rifle, Buffalo Classic, in say...45LC (I do)....other than reaming the barrel for the 450B cartridge to fit....how much work would have to be done to make the extractor work? I was thinking a 243/308/270 extractor as these rifles are chambered for those, but not sure if the extractor would move "down" far enough to allow the cartridge to load considering the 450B has a rebated rim. I am not sure if I worded that question correctly, butI am sure you know what I am referring to.
Just a side note. I do not actually want to do this to MY Buffalo Classic, I would actually rather find a different 45LC barrel (no longer available thru H&R Barrel Accesory program) to try this with. I know if I look I could find a barrel.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!
