The Parker BE is the smallest in diameter, approx. .4505, this will give you a guideline as to what type of sizing may or may not be needed. .452's will almost certainly be too tight unless you end up with a loose barrel like SW has. Parker may send you a sample to try or get a hold of me and I can send you a couple.

Oh no... I was under the impression any .452 pistol bullet would work, crap...
What kind of equipment is required to squeeze them down? Also what kind of money are we talking for the setup?
I have a Rock Chucker but don't know if there would be enough leverage. Is a special press required?
Sorry for all the rookie questions... Jody

Little miscommunication. The Parker will be the closest probably without sizing, the .452's will almost certainly need to be sized.
The Rockchucker works for me sizing .452's, but an arbor press will size with less effort.
You will need dies, if your barrel is close to .450 land to land, a .448 die should work best with jacketed .452 bullets. A .449 might work with all copper bullets since they spring back less but it will be close.IMO
