I'm sure the bore and groove diameters will vary a lot.

Idaho SharpshooterI just happen to have a spare single shot action, and there are dies and brass for sale in the classifieds. Wondering what barrel.
What more excuse does a gun nut need...

boom stickHow about a simple neck up of the 9,3x74 to 410 since you already have the brass for you Chapius. It will be able to do 400@ 2150 like the 450/400 and be able to shoot 405 Win factory ammo. Basicly making a 400 BPE into a 400 NE. If you do not like it rechamber to 450/400
What a great excuse for a new wildcat AND rifle
