With much help from 400 Nitro, I found and purchased a sound, original 400/360 Evans. We looked at 4-5 400/360s before settling on this one. It pays to have help from friends who know what to look for.

400 Nitro, NE 450No2, my buddy and I went to the range and tried various combinations finally settling for the day on 53grs 4350 behind the 270 Speer.

That load gave us 2020 fps and a 2 inch group at 50 yards. I'll do more develop but we noticed whatever the load the gun was remarkably consistent.

I need to get custom dies made as the neck is longer and the chamber a bit tighter than standard ( if there is a standard).

I'm looking forward to Deer and Hogs this fall.
