Be truly unique and go for the .465 H&H. Now THAT is an amazing cartridge. I'd love a Mauser in .465. Weatherby used the H&H belted case for the smaller Weatherbys and then H&H used the 378 Wby as the basis for the 465 H&H bolt gun cartridge.

Im planning to build one with a spare M70 300 Wby (I've got 2 NIB I bought for projects that didn't happen). No real need as Ive got a 400 Whelen nearly done and a 10.75x68 coming soon after. But, why not? It'll give me the 300/375/400 trio on New Haven M70's all in custom shop wood Just finished a 35 Whelen AI, and trying to decide if I want a 375 H&H or a 400 Whelen next.

Build a 400, a man can buy a damn nice new, semi, or full custom 375. 
Trump Won!

Build a 400, a man can buy a damn nice new, semi, or full custom 375. Agreed! The 400 should be a fun toy. I actually got my UPS notification an hour ago that it is due for delivery on Friday. Dies are a few weeks out. A 400 would pair nicely with your 35WAI. What bullets are you planning to try in the 35? I have a 35 I've yet to fire, and a 2nd barrel yet to be installed and im starting to wonder if I should sell it all, minus the 1909 Argy action. Not a whole lot I need done between the 30-06 and 400. With 300 gr bullets you can hit 2400+ with ease, and 2250+ with 350's. Should easily be a 300 yard gun capable of killing anything in NA, and with 400's at 2150 it'll knock down any living creature. The 400 will probably make a bunch of my guns superfluous (but still fun to own like the 400H&H)

Forget the 400 and get yourself a 416!
