My 450 Howell, was given to me by Ken Howell, he had it about 80% built when he had his first stroke, he had planned to take it to Africa, he gave it to me, with a bunch of brass and bullets, and said finish this rifle and go kill something with it and send me a picture. With the help of Bob AKA ( kaywoodie) we finished the rifle,
Miles Patton and Ed Bryant, helped me make 404 Jeffery brass into 450 Howell, and build some loads, after completing the rifle, i took it back to Ken, by then he was in a wheel chair after another stroke, and could no longer talk, he really enjoyed seeing the rifle and handling, we had a long visit passing notes back and forth, he passed away about 18 months later.
