If being redundant was the cartridges only crime, then I wouldn't hate it so much. Its second crime is using the long dead .411" bullet diameter. There are very few bullets made in this diameter and all of them are designed for use in lower velocity cartridges. This means even when you find a...

Muzzle brakes have their place... on machineguns and anti-material rifles. They have no business on hunting rifles.

Yet another reason to NEVER use muzzle brakes! I've never owned a hunting rifle with a muzzle brake and I never will.

I have never shot a 460 wby but I have fired guns that are significantly bigger and more powerful. This story sounds fairly silly!

I just did a quick search and you are indeed correct. At some point I read an article about why the 450 Marlin was invented and it had something to do with the availability of 45-70 or 45-70 lever guns. But it appears that wasn't true. Researching now, it appears the 450 Marlin was an attempt to...

I believe it was created because no one had yet made a 45-70 lever gun At the time. No reason for a modern gun to be chambered in it now

Quite a few people own vintage guns that need these cartridges. It would be a disaster if they suddenly disappeared! Target shooting is a sport, therefor all cartridges have a sporting purpose.

Have you thought "The 416 RM and 416 Rigby are just too practical and dont cost nearly enough"? Then the 400 H&H is the cartridge for you! It offers absolutely no benefits or history and exists soley to be expensive and exclusive.

It could come in a variety of scents! Shotgun, rifle, and hangun. Classic scents could also be available, such as black powder and cordite.

My cartridges are typically too rare, so i take what i can get. Here is what im currently using: Hornady 416 RM Star Line 45-70 Gov RMC 8-bore 3.25"

11/10

A ball is the standard projectile for the 4-bore. With the 8-bore it depended on what you were hunting. A ball was typically used for most game but was considered inadequate for elephant, so a conical of roughly 1150-1250gr was used. I use a 1200gr conical mold from Accurate molds. I also have...

I love my W.J. Jeffery 8-bore 3.25" double rifle! I would easily choose it over a 4-bore!

1. Ive been to Canada once and have no wish to visit again. 2. Out of state tags tend to be costly. Although i admit i havent looked too deep into it. A trip to Idaho wouldnt be bad if the tags arent too expensive.

Could it be made? Yes. It would be an EXTREMELY expensive project that would yield a fairly impractical firearm. If you make it and it is made properly (weight and balance), id be willing to shoot it. :)
