I am thinking of building one on a Win model 54. It is basically a straight wall 30-06 case necked down to .411 caliber. It has a teenie tiny shoulder, but enough to headspace on if you set your sizing die right. If I recall, you get 2300 fps from a 300 grain slug.

Guess that will have to be something you and your significant other will have to determine. I built basically a 416 Gibbs(same shoulder location on a 280 case) once. Didn't do a darn thing for my looks. But, then again it wasn't lever action and I didn't have the hat.

Man this .41 makes my mouth water. Thinking a 20-22 inch barrel for the T/C Encore would be the berries. Have to check with some of the T/C smiths out there to see if it can be done.
