How soon before one of these guns is converted to 500 Jeffrey?! It’s already got all the feeding kinks hopefully worked out.

boom stickThis is exciting to have a new source of brass for wildcatting and for making 500 Jeffery cases. If I read this correctly, the rim is larger at .588” vs .575” of the Jeffery so a Rigby or Weatherby bolt could be used.
This needs a new wildcat idea...
550 Swiss/Jeffery! It would be a 400 Whelen like shoulder. Maybe 550 Fondue is a better name.
