I Dugga you might talk with the boys over at accurate, it never stops to amaze me the info there on conversion or custrom gun builds. You might al so give AHR fire arms a try they build bolt stuff in the Howell round they may have a suggestion or two Can't think of the guys name but there is a smit...

Doesn't the Win '95 rely on staggering the cartridge rims for proper feeding? That is not a feature I'd want to count on in a dangerous game rifle. CRS made his 405 Win M95 able to shoot longer 400 gr .411 bullets at 2170 fps. That'd be equivalent to the good ol' 450/400 loading. The only change wa...

Was told Dave was not taking these projects now

The 1895 Winchester is my favorite lever.

I have used the .405 extensively, with cast, conventional, bonded and mono-metal solids-- a great and versatile round.

You will be happy you chose to get one-(so go get one )

Sad to hear that, Fred does good work.

I have a 411 Hawk. Great gun, though again it requires higher pressure to make the required 5400 Joules. The idea I have is to get a 400 gr to slightly better than 2200fps @ CIP 30-06 pressure. The modified Howell case gives a larger combustion chamber with which to reach that goal. The barrel steel...

My thoughts were keeping pressure around 30-06 levels or less, while pushing a 400 gr (or a 350-360) to levels energy levels above the 5400 joule minimums for DG (in many areas). ( The Miroku's are chambered in 270, which has a ANSI/SAAMI average pressure of 64,000, and a proof load pressures of 83 ...

Have a cousin living in the Heart O' Texas area that has whipped one mercilessly for almost 300K.

Everyone I know with them has been happy.

They're kinda out Toyota-ing Toyota,

overall good JD Powers Ratings and Edmunds Ratings.

Thanks

Actually a slight mag mod fairly easily managed-- already have a long throated .405 shooting 3.2+ lengths without issue , even with heavy recoiling loads.

I know some have been done, just can't find anyone to do one --now.

Considering re-chambering a 3rd Gen. Winchester (Miroku) .405 to a 411 variant of the 416 Howell? Case length 405 , 2.58 416 H, 2.5 Rim 405 , .543 Base 404 , .544 OAL 405 , 3.18 416 H , 3.365, 3.340 (2 sources) (Proposed 411 variant Will be max 3.2) Anyone know of a Gunsmith(s) that might consider t...

Anyone know of gunsmith(s) building these?

Particularly , a new front-end fror a 300WM take-down pistol grip.
