Very interesting. What is it? I have never heard of this cartridge before. It appears to be a 45-70 necked down to 416? What are the ballistics? What diameter of bullets does it use? How readily available are components?

Nice looking rifles.

I personally don't like muzzle brakes because they're too noisy.
