Loader that idea suits me just fine and dandy! It would sure make the little quarter bore a lot more versital for sure. It's getting the bullets that might prove to be a problem down the road.
I would think a handloader could get somewhere in the area of 2400 to 2500 fps with a 160 grain bullet and will take a guess that "sectional density" would be close to the .300 status.

Big Bore........Please don't get me started on your subject matter! The problem with shooter's, gun owner's and hunter's alike in this country it failure to get off there A$$'s and quote "ORGANIZE" against the so called Liberal faction that is slowly but surely taking our gun rights away.
Now have you ever seen 100,000 hunters and gun owners march down in front of the White House in DC? The farmers did it years back and blocked traffic for two days with their machinery, to get their point across to Congress, it also helped get them want their were wanting in the first place.
The only thing a politician understands or concerns theirselves with is VOTES! Now when they see the numbers in the streets and the media picks up on it, well things then start to happen and not until..........AMEN!

LOADER!...... I got to be having one of those "FAST TWISTS 1/4 Bores"........Amen! If the numbers are correct, it is a one gun hunts most all things......my exception would be bears in the USA. My 338 mag or 45/70 will head that department as usual.
So how's about filling me in on how to get my hands on one of these seemingly all around rifles? Hurry times a wastin and I ain't getting any younger.
I can just see it now by golly, a lightweight rifle with 21 inch barrel for the black timber and lots of sectional density in it's bullets for penetration on elk in the high country.
Now before I get hung out to dry by some hard core bigger caliber is better for elk hunters shaking their head, I just want to say that I know a man who hunted and killed many an elk with a .243 Winchester. I have used everything from a .270, 30-06, 300 Win mag, 338-06, 35 Whelen and the 375 H&H magnum for bringing down elk. The 1/4 Bore would be a feather in my hat.

ZEPPLIN......I got a couple of .338's! Gave away my 338/06!
Why that 338/378 has got to be one heck of a long range elk or mule dear smacker. I remember once a fellow who was carrying such a rifle hunting elk, the only problem was when he touch er off, on that big bull he was looking at through the scope, it bought all the pine needles showering down on him like green snow. The muzzle break sounds off like a Sherman Tank firing on the line.
I just think it would be great to go out next year and hunt elk with that caliber LOADER is speaking about, it certainly has a lot going for itself.
Lindsey, I know all about that Triple 4 (mine are Marlin) and the legendary 45/70 too. I don't want to drop you cake, but I just don't really consider these as open elk country tools of the trade, get my drift. I'll save em for the moose and black bear hunts in the woods.
