I'd opt for the .416 Taylor (belt turned off) by using a .416 Rem reamer and holding it back 3/10"(whatever's needed) when chambering, as well as a standard .458 WM.




This sounds very like a 10,75x68 in essence, 416 Taylor 20 thou bigger in diameter in the body (not the belt) & 7/8 thou smaller in bore but theres not much in it. I know that its harder to load for than a 416 Taylor or any of the factory loads but with modern powders & projectiles it should be able to at least match 416 Taylor energy figures & just as good at fitting into a standard length action.
