How would someone go about getting a rifle made in a wildcat cartridge and then finding dies and everything else for it? I am interested in turning a marlin 1895 into a .416 Barnes. Cant really find much info about it though.

A shop up north in Alaska builds custom Marlins. Name of company is Wild West Guns. They offer a Marlin chambered for a cartridge based upon the .348 but necked up to various calibers including .375, .416, and .458.

Hope this is helpful.

Good hunting to you.

JB,

Clymer will make the reamers, although Brownell's may have them in stock. Huntington Die Specialties will do the reloading dies, and case forming dies.

You needed additional information about the 416 Barnes?

Of course, you might want to look at the 416 Beartooth
