[QUOTE="436, post: 2249536, member: 16609"] Well, I guess you have to go with the story we've been given over the years. It's a moot point now anyway I think they've all moved on to the big cartridge company in the sky 😇 But! just for fun'..., I know that Cooper did work with Johnson the .450 Alaskan "In 1952, Harold Johnson of Cooper Landing, Alaska, wildcatted the 348 Winchester by necking it up to 458, then straightening the case walls by fireforming. He called his wildcat the 450 Alaskan and chambered Winchester Model 71 rifles for it." And that Barnes seemed to be involved in that one as well. "Bill Fuller made the reamers. John Buhmiller made the barrel. Frankl Barnes made the bullets, which were .032" jackets for Alaska and .049" jackets for Africa. These 400 grainers were loaded to 2100 fps at 3937 ft-lbs." However, in the end, I'm just repeating what others have said or are saying, nevertheless that's what makes shooting and ballistic fun. Cheers [/QUOTE]
