| It would be a slightly shorter 416 Hoffman or Remington, 2.80" vs 2.85". Before the 458 lott became a factory round, I formed 458 lott brass by necking up 416 rem mag, then trimming to length.
For a standard length 416, there is the 416 Taylor on the 2.5" belted case, or the 416 Howell, on a 2.5" 404 case. |

| I see. Why bother necking it down when you could just buy a factory 416 remington I guess.
What is the 416 hoffman built off of?

The 416 Hoffman is essentiall the same as the 416 rem, ie H&H belted case. The Hoffman was developed many years before the rem mag, and was designed as a necked up and blown out 375 H&H. The 416 rem mag was the 8mm rem mag necked up. A 416 Hoffman will chamber a 416 rem mag round. |

| When you neck the Lott down to .416,you have the .416 Rem.Mag.,unless you change the shoulder angle or neck length.

Not true, the 458 Lott has no shoulder, it is a straight tapered case. When you neck it down, the shoulder and neck will come out based on whatever die you use to neck it down. |
