I have no clue how the heck the thing was done, it’s headspaced correctly and fits win mag cases without issue but obviously throated short. I do think whoever built it intended it to be used with the lighter 45-70 bullets for some reason.

The The 1917 is a massive action but the magazine box was designed for .30-06 length cartridges not full length 3.6 inch magnums, hence why it works with win mags. I’ll have to check out brownells and see if they have a reamer that’ll work with a 45 cal rifle. I was mainly wondering which would...

I have an M1917 chambered in 458 Winchester magnum that I picked up for a pretty reasonable price a while back. I discovered that whoever chambered it somehow didn’t throat it long enough for me to load 500 grain bullets at the correct length. I can chamber factory 500 grain loads without any...

I’m still sitting on a decent enough supply of brass and ammo where I’m not super worried about it and I’ll probably order some brass from Grafs. I saw that hornady and Norma apparently stopping selling raw win mag brass as components so that kinda made me wonder if converting Lott brass would...

Greetings all, I see that midwayusa no longer carries any 458 win mag brass but they do still stock 458 Lott brass. This begs the question, can Lott brass be converted to win mag brass by trimming and resizing? Curious if anyone here has done it. In case anyone’s wondering I have an M1917 in...

Ok so I made a post a while back on this rifle but I need some help once more. I have a 1917 enfield, Winchester made, that was sporter used some time ago into a 458 Winchester magnum. I’ve been thinking about getting a timney trigger for it but I’m not sure if I need the 5 shot or 6 shot...

Not too long ago I picked up a Winchester produced M1917 that was made into a 458 win mag in 2002. Me being me I’d sure like to have it converted to a 458 Lott. Biggest thing I’m a little stuck on is the magazine box and follower. As of right now the rifle still doesn’t feed perfectly due to the...

Recently I've been thinking of building a Remington 700 in a DG caliber but I am still trying to decide on which one. I'll have to measure the receiver on a couple of mine to see if this is true or not but I've seen people posting that the 700 Long action can fit cartridges like .375H&H, .416...
