I thought you were going to say 338-06, but very very cool. One more 270 down, a whole bunch more to go LOL.

Hey Neal,
I have a 400 Whelen also, but with the 40 degree (AI) shoulder.
It's an incredible round.
I took it to Tanzania in 2006 for a one gun hunt....buffalo, hippo, hartebeast, etc.
I.T.&D made my barrel, so it's closer to .410 than .411, but I shoot .411 bullets exclusively.
As you probably know, Quality Cartridge mades headstamped brass, but you will have to neck ream after you size it from the cylindrical form it arrives in.
After you take some game with this rifle, you'll wonder how you lived without it.
Great choice, and nice rifle.
Can't wait to hear about your next hunt with it.
Garrett

Thanks for the replies, from what I've done so far the headspace issue is indeed an old wife's tale
