1917 Winchester .375 Mag - long story

The M1917 Enfield bolt action is well suited for such longer cartridges. I also own a rifle caliber 300 H&H Magnum that was built in Germany in 1964 with such an action. Rifles caliber 416 Rigby were built with it shortly after WWII when Mauser Magnum actions were in short supply and A-Square used the previous bolt action system Pattern 1914 Enfield.
 
I have a 1917 enfield action for a long mag and a P14 for a rimmed cartridge. Thinking a 348 win based cartridge. Not much machining.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
