Took the CZ to the gunsmith yesterday to have it re-chambered to .450 Howell. He said it'll be a month and a half before I get it back.

I lucked out with my CZ in 416, really nice wood: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/cz2_zps2d576afb.jpg)

Good! He was not taking any new work, but I thought that he might be interested in your project. He will do a good job for you.

We talked about building a .280 Rem on a FN Mauser action that he has. Along with one of his stock blanks.

Very nice Ken. A nice tribute to Ken Howell. You'll have to bring that to Armijo Springs and see what kinds of ooohs and aaahs it will get.

Thanks guys,but it will go back to the gunsmith it is not feeding the second round. Using Hornady DGX.
Going to shoot it this morning,just cause I want to. Then try a different bullet and see if it will feed better. Going to try Nosler Partitions.
If it is working right,I will bring it to Armijo Springs.

What gr. bullet are you using? I have found the 300 SPHP does not feed as smooth as the 350-400-450-500 gr round nose, most anything with a round nose works in my 450-H.I am happy to see you are getting your 450-H up and running we can have a great time with them in July at Armijo Sp. Rio7

I'm using 500 gr Hornady and Nosler bullets.
Just got back from shooting the .450 and no problems feeding,firing and extracting. The rounds jam when checking them to see if they feed and extract,but don't jam when shooting.

Thanks RIO7,but I have the ones I want to use in the .450 and .460.  It's just a matter of the gunsmith working on the feeding.Have loaded up some rounds to take to him and show him what is going on.
