Whats the largest chambering one can have in the Ruger no. 1 or that any of you people know of and still have enough meat around the chamber for safety ? .577 .600 ?

Probably too big. I wouldn't go that big. 15/16" shank diameter. Do the hoop and radial stress calculations to see what's the max.

577 NE has been done, and 460 webby

Here's my 600JDJ on my #1. It's a 577 Nitro blown out to 620 cal.

That is one heck of a rifle, what kind of velocity do you get out of it? Thanks.

Thanks Tom,
I'm toying with selling this big guy. If you're interested, let's discuss. It is a complete rebarrel job with much other mods. SSK built it for me in 04. I have a lot of load data, hunting data, and cast bullets data. It's a really fun gun and easy to carry hunting & will REALLY "deliver the mail"
