The van Zwoll write up I was talking about was from late 2007 or 2008 in Safari or Bugle.
I'll dig out my magazines and get back with you with the details.
If I'm not mistaken they used a .458 shoulder.
This was probably at least a $10,000 rifle.
I looked through the Hawk site you posted.
Pretty interesting stuff.
Sounds like they have it figured out.
There can't be much ballistic difference in the .41 Hawk and Whelen.
It might be easier getting the Hawk reamer and dies for making the head space work.
Did you read the history of the 400 Whelen on the Hawk site?
How would you like to find one of those Neider barreled Howe built rifles at a yard sale for $200.
After I read about Elmer keith killing the No. 2 Brown Bear with a .35 Whelen , I had to have one.
I have been very happy with it and the .400 has to be better.
My next project is going to be a switch barrel pre 64 m-70 , in 6-5 -06 Ackley ,.338-06 and .41 something.
I'm planning on going over next year and I want to carry that and my RSM .375 H&H.
