possum hollow made my 505 Gibbs bore guide

The 400H&H will push a .411 dia 400gr bullet at 2400fps and a 300gr bullet at 2700fps and head spaces on a belt... Max SAAMI Pressures for the 416 Rigby is 52000 psi the 416Rem 65000 psi and the 400 H&H 63000 ...IF... you believe Wiki IMHO The 400 H&H belongs solidly in the 416 family...

1903 Gibbs 450 3/14 NE 28" Barrels

CEB's are in stock

all depends what your budget is .. there are some very good deals to be had .. Here is a VC chambered in 470NE ... Barrels are a little short for my taste but the stock at 15" can be shortened to your LOP Hopefully you are right handed as the grip probably has a palm swell and at 14K I would...

My 2007 3rd addition Swift Manual does not have the 300H&H

Sadly Winchester's new Safari Express series 375H&H 416Rem 458win mag all use the same long action giving the 458 the short straw or in this case the long action... The upside is that the new 458 win is easily changed to a 458 Lott
