Re: Pick a .416 Cal cartridge! Which would you go for?

No problem answering this one. I had my own wildcat .416 before the Taylor came out. I simply opened up the .300 Winchester Magnum case to .416 and had a P-14 Enfield barrelled to fit. It will do anything the Taylor will do and a tiny bit more. Easy brass availability, no problem duplicating .416 Rigby ballistics. I have a picture of it around somewhere I can forward to Dale to post. Very satisfying to shoot.
Xausa, very nice, gives me some inspiration for the P14 action I have squirreled away, specially like the bolt handle, one of the nicest I've seen on an Enfield. I probably still stay with the Taylor, but, what is your case length as loaded? I assume it shortens the 300 Win case slightly. Do you need to neck ream where the shoulder becomes the neck? & are the other dimensions the same as for the 300 Win? COAL ? Thanks.
