I was thinking something like that. The rifle is in storage right now and with the receiver opened up to feed the 460 cases there isn't much past the weatherby 378 cases I can make work.
So I was thinking either set the barrel back a half turn and then shorten my 460 dies and set the shoulder back 1mm(or what ever the math is for a half turn of the barrel.) Or rebarrel is to 416
Are you still enjoying this cartridge? I was considering one recently, local shop had a Sako 85 in 500 Jeffery.
The main deterrence for me is the absolute lack of factory ammo here in Canada.
Maybe Norma will start producing it again.

Evan:
Why not set the barrel back to get rid of the belt recess & go to a .450 Rigby. It's under the arse-hole 10k joule limit & the cartridges are quite similar in dimensions.

Yeah i really like the rifle, it shoots well and the recoil isn't too bad, its sharp but very manageable, the P14 has a huge butt plate to spread out the load. the low butt stock is nice, it doesnt smack you in the face like my 460 does (it has a monte carlo stock).
ive been reloading for it. i have 20 brass and about 100 600gr barns bullets, also 100 570gr cast bullets.
the dies cost a lot that is for sure. i bought a cheap single stage press, I drill and tapped it for the larger die body
and Jim that is a good idea honestly. Probably the best idea, i wanted to keep a 450 in my line up and with the receiver opened so much there wasn't many options.
