Thanks for the reply. I now have access to a reamer, I bought one, after 2 not so great experiences with 4D. What I need now is a fast twist, .458, Savage blank. Finding one with a butt thickness large enough, and long enough, to accommodate the 1.050" savage thread diameter is posing quite a problem for me. (I can do the thread and chamber work)

Still watching GB and da bay, but not holding out much hope.

Thanks again for the help.
