would like to know if someone has done it
necking up 416 Rigby to 450 Rigby

I haven’t necked 416 to 450, but I have a couple of wildcats I’ve had to neck up. I’ve done 300 RUM to 416 with no problem. Anneal and do it in steps. I do have a 450 Rigby and managed to find brass in Canada just can’t remember where but I think it was a place in Ontario

Prophet River told me he is able to get some 450 Rigby from the state and ship them to me
the price was 169 for 25
what I am afraid of is that necking up you get a shorter neck was that you experience
I had this when I did 30-06 to 35 Whelen

Yes you may get a shorter neck up it shouldn’t be much, I really haven’t had a problem with a shorter neck. The only thing I would worry about would be erosion in the chamber, but how often will one shoot a 450 Rigby, and would it make much difference

Anything can be done but I suggest that you’d really have to watch the shoulder angle
