So the article states the gun would be "unshootable" without the muzzle brake. So firing a 390gr. bullet at 2500fps is "unshootable"? I think there are many here, including myself, that would find that statement a bit laughable.

Any dimensions?
Looks like a short 2.1” Rigby case with an 06 rim.

In an AR-10? Probably. More than most people would want to deal with, anyway.

Considering that the AR-10 or AR-15 for that matter are only held together by two pins and the upper and lowers are aluminmum, it might not be able to withstand the recoil.
And like one of the previous posters said most AR shooters may not have shot anything with a significant amount of recoil.

I know one of the guys that my friend brought shooting had never shot anything other than the AR platform rifles. I had my 375 Ruger African with me and was shooting it. My friend got behind the rifle and pulled the trigger a couple of times and said it wasn't to bad. His buddy got behind it and pulled the trigger and put the rifle down and actually teared up a little. He never wanted to shoot anything other that what he brought from then on.

I admit, I am co-mingling "Breadcrumbs" together
  • the 458 SOCOM requires a "license" to make
  • Marty, who invented the 458 SOCOM also made the 470 Rhino
  • the Rhino was made from 500 Jeffery brass (that I gave him) and rebatted
  • the rhino was a hassle to make and expensive brass
  • the 475 Bishop brass is claimed to be "almost .600 diameter brass"
  • this would be rigby/lapua/debelted 460w if made from a parent case
  • they claim, incorrectly, that their cart is the largest that can go in an AR10 platform, when there are any number of field proven .500 on even the AR15 platform
  • the case is VERY rebated


I conclude, then, that
  • They used the rigby, that than rum, case as the parent
  • RCCBrass is making these with the .472/12mm rim from rigby-ish dies
  • Bishop, having a license for the SOCOM, *may* have talked with Marty on the Rhino, and
  • came up with an interesting solution for a heavy (but not) hitter on the AR10 platform

    Will a 2.8" 4.75 rigby work? ABSOLUTELY, as the 476 Accrel (3.34" on same) freaking ROCKS



It sort of takes Marty's, Michael's, and my cool carts, blends and mixes for a platform, and makes something fun to shoot -- uhm, $7.50 per shot is a bit stiff though --

I'll give them this, it's a neat, unique solution, solving an interesting problem set, and appears to be "their own work" which isn't something I'd say for the norma mags

Shoot it in your cheap AR-10 lower, because it's going to break something. At least the .458 on the Omen was designed for the recoil and pressure. This is to wow the idiots in AR world that really believe that it's a worthy expense to have $5,000 or more tied up in a plastic rifle.


How is it a man with fifteen rounds of 5.56 feels under equipped and a man with fifteen rounds of .375 hasn't a worry in the world?

To commemorate this sacred cartridge I’m gonna come up with my own which is a shortened Jeffrey case to .585, rebated to 470 rim and call it the 577 cardinal. It will molest anything you point it at.

.475"/390-gr at 2500 fps MV = 5,413 ft-lbs KE, SD = .247

.458"/390-gr at 2500 fps MV = 5,413 ft-lbs KE, SD = 0.266

.458"/400-gr at 2500 fps MV = 5,552 ft-lbs KE, SD = 0.272

Yumpin Yimminey !
The .475 Bishop is almost as powerful as a .458 WIN.

Since we are on the subject of Massively rebated single stack carts, why not rebate the 460 Weatherby case even more and have a stubby 550? let’s honor the Jewish people! We have the 550 Magnum, 550 Express and now the 550 David! Short but carries a wallop. 2.1”? 2.25”? would be great using 28 gauge slugs.

I am sure someone will come up with a 122 round snaildrum. Paul Kersey would have loved this gun.

I did not see anything about reloading dies.
