Simple thoughts are often incorrect and this came to me late last night.  But ... I have a spare 0.458" Adams& Bennett barrel coming, my gunsmith has a 450Marlin reamer ... so what if I asked him to run it in 0.030" short and headspace using H&H Go/No-Go gages? Would I end up with a cheap (bastardised) 458 American with off the shelf dies (450marlin) and no need to search for 450Marlin brass? Now the expensive part ... what action could it be shoe-horned into? I have a Stevens 200 in 300WinMag that I can fit it too ... just seems a waste of a standard length action. Do I need this ... NO! But that's not what wildcatters do with spare barrels, excess time and low cash flow. Cheers... Con | ||
