I've been thinking of doing a .400 w.
What I've found out so far is there are a few diffrent reamers labeled .400 Whelen , and you have to be careful which one you use because if the shoulder is'nt cut just right you'll have head space problems.
I want to do one because every thing for the 416s are so expensive.
I can get in a pre 64 Win. worth the money and I have gobs of 30-06 brass .
Wayne Van Zoll wrote up a one of a kind custom job in either Safari or Bugle last year that gave the chamber specs.
He said it worked perfectly and that's the reamer I'm looking for.
It should have close to the same powder capacity as the .405 Win., maybe a bit more.
That's not near the 416s , but with todays powder and bullets it should work well on all but the very biggest African game.
I wouldn't be afraid to use it on Buff or Griz.
