450 BOND SUPER

Dec 3, 2016 | ,

The 450 Bond Super is nothing more than a standard 45 ACP cartridge but loaded with extremely light (90 – 100gr.) bullets. It is/can be used in a Derringer type revolver manufactured by Bond Arms in Granbury TX. The cartridges are loaded by RBCD Performance Plus,...

450 BONECRUSHER

Dec 13, 2016 | ,

The 450 Bonecrusher was designed by Lee Marvin from Arlington, VA in April 2002. The development of the 454 Casull proved that it was possible to duplicate the performance of very large frame revolvers like the Magnum Research 450 Marlin with a smaller cartridge/gun...

450 LONG C.F.

Apr 3, 2017 | ,

450 LONG C.F. (50/64" CASE) This was one of the 450 Long C.F calibers listed in the late 19th to early 20th Century. These cartridges were listed in a variety of case lengths and called 450 Long, mainly in order to differentiate them from the 450 Short CF Revolver....

450 MAGNUM EXPRESS

May 3, 2017 | ,

The 450 Magnum Express was developed by North American Arms in 1981 although it was not made available until 1984. It is actually nothing more than the 45 Winchester Magnum that was lengthened to 1,344 inches and the cases were made for them by Winchester. The...

450 MARS (LONG CASE)

Jun 3, 2017 | ,

   Largest of the experimental cartridges made by H.W. Gabbet-Fairfax for a Mars semi-auto pistol, in all probability between 1895 – 1903. These cartridges were to be submitted for military trials but were ultimately not successful. The main reason of its...

450 MARS (SHORT CASE)

Jul 3, 2017 | ,

   One of a series of experimental cartridges and smallest of the 45 calibers made by H.W. Gabbet-Fairfax for a Mars semi-auto pistol, in all probability between 1895 – 1903. These cartridges were to be submitted for military trials but were ultimately not...

450 NEEDHAM

Apr 3, 2015 | ,

Interesting development by Joseph Needham, but it was not a commercial success. The rifle had a tubular magazine with a 2 chamber cylinder which pivoted on a central pin, much like a revolver. Loaded by National Arms and Ammunition Company as can be seen by the waffle...

450 No.1 BLAND

Aug 3, 2017 | ,

British development for a revolver by the firm Thomas Bland & Sons, which had offices in London and Birmingham with cartridges made for them by Eley. The shape of the bullet is the same as for the 476 Enfield Mk. 3 (Erlmeier, Brandt Ref. 453)   

450 RIGBY

Apr 26, 2015 | ,

Developed in 1993 by Paul Roberts, the proprietor at Rigby at the time by necking up the 416 Rigby case to .458" in order to give better penetration and knock down power than the 416. Horneber Germany 450 Rigby made up by Ken Stewart in South Africa from modified 416...

450 SHORT C.F.

Sep 3, 2017 | ,

The 450 Short Center Fire is very often a neglected part of many collections and given the fact that this cartridge has been loaded more or less continuously since 1867, it most certainly demands more respect than it sometimes receives from collectors (me included)....

450 SMC

Oct 3, 2017 | ,

The 450 Short Magnum Cartridge (SMC) was introduced by Triton during the latter part of 2000. It is basically the same as the 45 SUPER and here things can get a little confusing. The 451 Detonics was developed in the early 1980’s and showed what a 1911 was really...

450 WILDEY MAGNUM

Nov 3, 2017 | ,

Designed in the early 1970’s by Wildey J. Moore for a gas-operated, double-action/single-action pistol and was offered in a variety of calibers, the biggest being the 475 Wildey Magnum. The 450 Wildey Magnum is the 475 case necked down to .45cal. It is based on a...
