.500/.450 No. 1 Express Ammunition or Brass

[Furharvester]

I am curious to know if anyone on here might have any idea where to get ammo or empty brass for a 500/450 no 1. I inherited a J W Tolley double rifle in that caliber. If no one knows where I can find ammo or brass what parent case should i reform to make the cartridge? Thank you all in advance for any help you might be able to give.

I’m sure if it could talk it would have all kinds of stories to tell

May....be this rifle is the proverbial fly on the wall and some of those tales ought not be told around the faint of heart, kids and women, but it sure would be nice to hear those stories around a campfire with a beverage and the folks in those stories.

I’d love to be at that fire
