Thanks to both of you guys, I appreciate it for sure!

Great information, I appreciate that! May definitely be worth starting to look up barrels and someone locally that could do the work!

So wait --- when you say Enfield are you meaning a 1917? I have one in 375 H&H that I like, but I wouldn't object if it someday found itself wearing a barrel that said 458 Lott on it. To date, I've done precisely "0" looking into this idea, so I'd be quite curious if you had any tips I should...

I'll take the full size 458 all day long! (I'd have grabbed that 7x57 too but I'm late to the party.

I recently picked up a 416 Taylor, and while I'd love to shoot it, I find that I'm slightly lacking in the ammo or components department. So if anyone happened to have dies or brass they wanted to let go of I'd be interested. Understanding that 416 Taylor brass is either rare, or expensive, I'm...

The stock looks so much nicer in person. Found out a couple other things -- bedded, and has a "bold" trigger in it. Safety works. Overall not bad condition. Definitely not bad (IMHO) for a rifle that hasn't been made since 1942. The journey to find dies and brass has so far met the cold harsh...

All I'm saying is that my eyes are both rated 20/10 and if I find a deal on a leftie then I'm learning to switch hit.

That's interesting --- I wouldn't have thought you could have it kind of both ways like that. Seems like it'd make sense that it would or wouldn't chamber+extract, not that it could be split.

No problem at all... my goal is buying a Lott as well, so I'm in no danger of messing with this one. Hence the reason I've held onto these rounds as long as I have. Now, the 300H&H I have, I don't know if that'll meet the same fate --- those seem to be even harder to find, let alone find a deal...

That's a great point....

So thinking about something --- and this may be a really dumb question. But if the 416 Taylor is based off the 458 Win Mag, and 458 Lott sets can shoot 458 Win Mag... does that mean it might be possible to convert a Taylor rifle to a Lott? I've never really looked into these conversions and I...

Yeah, I just fell into this one. My part of the country I can usually find good deals on big bore stuff. That's why I have three 375 H&H's at the moment...They all kind of fell into my lap on good deals. Fortunately, around the time I got the first one, a reloading setup fell into my lap too...

Interestingly I have a pound and a half of RL15 with nothing I really use it for. I've also got an 8 pound jug of Accurate 8700 that I don't have anything to do with. That's be super awesome if it'd work for this. IIRC it can be used for 264 Win/ 7mm Rem mag and some others, so maybe I hit the...

I'm still figuring out when I'll pick this baby up, but this is at least the preview pic I got from the auction: I am not good at the waiting bit. To go pick it up would be a 5 hour round trip today or tomorrow while I've got work and dentist appointments. So I may have to pay for the...

It's sounding like I need to acquire some 458 to start. This might be a weird me thing, but generally when I've run into situations like this where the right headstamp is hard to find (or expensive) I'll go the route of getting the more available general brass and convert/use that for load...

Well, looking into this more I may have done made a boo boo on the 416 Rem brass. I apparently should have bought the 458. Dang it. At least I know of someone selling a No 1 in 416 Rem mag soon, so maybe I have an excuse for it.

Do they do runs of that on occasion? I started looking around and proper stamped brass appeared to be a on a different plane of existence from the one we occupy currently. At least in the search when I checked Starline I noticed they had 375 Win brass which is somewhat of a rarity as well.

So I'm going to post up a sort of excitement thread, because, well, I figure this is the forum where it needs to be. I just happened to win a 416 Taylor at auction, at what I think is a stupid reasonable price, and I'm kind of stoked about it. However, I will say that I pretty well know...

Been lurking for a long time, but finally created an account. I suppose I resisted for a long time as the classified might wind up costing me money ;) To be honest, I like collecting more than hunting but some of the things floating through here are always eye candy, and I do like the tales of...
