You are correct. for some reason was thinking 470 .

IIRC there was an article in Guns & Ammo a number of years ago detailing the conversion of a #1 to .470.  I believe that it was written by Ross Seyfried, one of my favourite gun writers (whatever happened to him, anyway?).  I think the work was done by Hamilton Bowen.

  The #1's in .400/450 NE shipped last week.  If they did the same with this as they did with the 9.5x74R model which I for one believe they did, there's just the single run of them this year. 
  Having seen the ecoil from these being fired and the ballistics on the cartridge, along with the price for loded ammo and the expence for dies, I'm gonna pass reluctantly.
