It's not that much work to swage .458" bullets down to .452". To do it right, a guy should swage at least two steps, better 3, only taking 2thou down each step. It goes quickly. Or maybe I'm just used to it. I used to swage down for .450B, and currently swage down some .358" bullets for use in .357" loads. If you ever get into shooting lead, especially casting your own, you'll get used to resizing bullets really quickly.

Indiana's reg's - and I only looked this up recently because of another thread about the .375 Socom - only allow .357" and larger caliber cartridges with a maximum case length of 1.8" or less.

The idea behind their regulations is to limit range. Think about it - .357" cartridges require a pretty heavy bullet due to their large bore, and a short 1.8" or less case doesn't hold enough powder to throw them super fast. There's no combination of those two restrictions that would yield a 100grn bullet running 3000fps.

Not surprisingly, the .450B is a hammer. Great big bullets tend to have that effect. Absolutely pounds pigs, and puts deer down fast.
