I think it will run in a 300 savage action with a little help. Last edited by ctw; 07/30/21. What you have done is not nearly as important as how you have done it!!! The Old Fart 2008 A.D.

I figure it will run in the rotor with a little work. My uncle in south western Michigan will hopefully be able to give her a try this fall. Last edited by ctw; 07/31/21.

Unlike Whelen's blown out 30-06 that still had the 06 taper, the QC stuff is square all the way out. When I talked to him about the .41 I was thinking on, he said I might want to go up to .429. I think he said his cartridge's would take the .429. The one I had mocked up with a .410 pistol bullet was cut to 1.9" and it went into the rotor nice, but jammed as some as I tried to lever it forward. Then I got busy.

I have been told this will be anemic guess we will see ordered the barrel today. I think the 1.9 will be difficult to make feed?

In the mean time I'm going to buy a box of the 400 Whelen's. It's only $35 for 20. These are 06 cases trimmed to 1.90, with a 45 Sabot slug. Only thing I had laying around. Over all length was right at 2.25". Three go in nice and comfy, whether they cycle is a different story. Last edited by JoeMartin; 08/03/21. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
