Makes sense. 100 pieces would likely last quite a while. What barrel are you ordering? Shilen #5 seems a good fit. .7ish at around 22-23”.
Anybody have issues shooting .410 bullets like the AFrame in .411 barrels? Sounds like folks are getting good accuracy with them?
Ron- what mag box mods did you do to get a 3.6” mag box? Do you just throat long for extra chamber capacity?
I picked up an old Mauser for some kind of “big bore” project. Originally thinking 9.3, then was cogitating on a 416 like the Ruger, but keep coming back to something like the 400.
A handy package with iron sights and maybe a reflex mounted to toss .4+ caliber bullets at a decent clip. 400’s at 2200, 350’s at 2300’ or 300’s at 2400 seems like a good spot.
No issues getting accuracy here. I've even used some .409 Lion Loads without a hitch.
I've ran 300 TSXs just under 2500 for the entire time I've used the Whelen in the field, the chronograph reading 2485.
