as pointed out in other replies, 414 with a case length of 1.610" (already at or more than the 1894 action can cycle), one can go the 41-44Rem Mag route, or... use a 375 marlin action (to handle the pressure), swap to a 35 rem bolt, and open up the face to handle the 414 rim... and one has a 414 levergun.
do shoot straight,
