Mike:
I'm well aware of all the different case types. My point was Winchester would have had a hell of time designing a bolt action rifle for example the 470 Nitro Express that would feed reliably primarily due to the rimmed design. And they along with Remington and Weatherby perceived a market for a .400 caliber bolt action rifle for dangerous game hunting.
My real intended response here is to the poster on this thread who stated this:
"The .458 WM and the ,416 Rem. were surplus to requirements before they were even made. JMHO."
