450 Marlin in a 458

[Greg Nolan]

In looking at the dimensions of the 450 Marlin versus the 458 Win/Lott it seems the only difference is 1/1000 in case size and taper in the case beyond the belt. Does anybody know if it's OK to shoot 450 Marlin ammo in a 458? Has anyone done it?

Nope it is not ok and you can not do it. It will not chamber. The belt is longer on the 450 Marlin for that reason.
