Piece of cake man.

Quality cartridge has 400 Whelen brass in stock

4D has the 'Petrov' reamer for rent, 50 bucks, send that to JES and see if he can bore for .410.411" bullets.

CH4D may have 400 Whelen dies in stock.

OP, go 400 Whelen, or if you want to kick some tail out to 400 yards, the 35 Whelen will boot 250gr Partitions 2700 fps.


I’d like to do a 400 one of these days when I find the right donor.


It's a hell of a cartridge buddy, 400 grains at 2255 fps is a hell of a bang for the buck power factor on the '06 sized case, with either Woodleigh soft or solid any game animal anywhere in the world could be handily taken, it has to near the very definition of efficiency.

Trump Won!
