under the heading "just slightly weird"; I need one or two 577NE Bell Basic cases, the 3.25" (?) long ones. You don't want to know...

What's cookin' Rich? A new flanged wildkitty?

Keith

you don't want to know...

Got salvation with one phonecall...to Marc Jamison.
He is running the basic case this week, and offered to sell me fifty at a "gimme" price. Sooooo, I been chasing this idea of a flanged version of my 550 Gibbs Magnum around in my head, using the same dies as the rimless original. Now to find a shell holder!

I'll keep you posted.

Need any P17's?

>>>>>>>>>...Do you have any with the ears still on ??? ...There is a 450 Watts Long Magnum and a 9.3x62 that I need a 17 ,and, or a 14 action for

sadly, no.
I would not waste one doing a 9,3x62. Any standard 98 will suffice for an 'o6 length cartridge. I got a CZ FS in X62...perfect Alaskan rifle.
I do know where an full military remington M34/35 is in 7mm Mauser...untouched! About $400 though with shipping it up to you.

heh, if you are willing to turn the rims down a hair, my 550 flanged reamer will do for you

Rich, sounds like you and Jeffe are going to make the leap to the "mega bore society".
Hmmmm, a double 550! Sounds like a potent stopper!

Yeah, in an eleven pound rifle it might stop my heart...but just for a minute or two
For the four interested people, I just got the notion to see what a flanged version would look like. It would be cool to to have the rim for a DR project coming up. Soooo, I thought I'd wheedle a couple cases out of somebody here and see what it looked like. Then I get the bright idea to call Jamison and see if maybe there are a couple laying around in a bin somewhere I might buy. He makes my day by telling me they are running the 577 3.25" basic case this week.
I'm getting enough to play around a bit with. Still have the Browning BSS 12 ga Magnum sitting in the corner, still talking to Searcy a little, still have the dream. A gunsmith friend tells me it would be simple to chuck the barrels up in the lathe to contour/chamber and just cut the rim/flange recess at the same time.

Is Jamison running 3" .577 NE brass anytime soon?

dunno, but I would think he would with the 3.25" length stuff going.
