No on H&R doing one anytime soon, you can do it yourself tho, rent a reamer and follow the directions in the FAQs for reaming a 357mag to Max. GBO sponsor Wayne York of Oregunsmithing will do it too.

I wounder why H&R pulled the 45LC barrels,GUNS? Is it because of the re-chambering to the 460 S&W?

Same reason they pulled several other barrels that are marked no longer available, they're only making the best selling barrels, the 45LC has never been a big seller.  :-\

I had my 45LC reamed to 454 Casull some time ago. I use it for whitetail down south and it works and shoots great. Probably should have gone to 460 but don't have any complaints on the 454...but the deer have!
