In good weather a while back, tested
a high speed sabot load in 700H.
I shot a 3/4 oz Federal 12ga sabot that I shaved down to .700 from .729, going
about 34-3500 from the Enfield. I hear MRC
getting closer with the PH action.Ed

Got the 700H just about done in Savage 210.
Actually easier to do than 12GA. Don't
have to make cutout for rimmed extractor.
It will get same max power as the first one done in Enfield--825gr at 2600+. Will have
picture soon, it's on a thumbhole stock.
MRC as they related last Monday, maybe will
have PH actions in 3-4 months.Ed

Here is picture of my 700H in a Savage 210
bolt action.Wt 19 lbs, top loads like the
first one in Enfield. 825gr at 2600,
1000gr at 2300 so far. Loaded case shown
in the port has 3.90" overall length.Ed

Now we have two guns in 700H, Savage and the
Enfield on right.Ed

Maybe a PH will be available soon.

They are starting to make the run of PH actions
at MRC, so any of you wantigng a big thread
on th eaction for my 700H or other big cases
let them know, if you are on the list.
They plan on making big threaded ones along
with regular threaded ones.Ask for a
1.2 inch x 16 thread. Ed

For anyone interested in doing my 700H in PH or my
585 Belted case I will have reamers for you to use,
and 15 free cases to get you started, Will have couple
reamers for 585 in about a month, then a reamer for
700H in next mmonth. You use reamer, return to me, I
will sharpen if needed , and so on to next guy.The
585BHE is same loaded length as 505.The 700H will fit
PH mag box with 1/10" to spare. Ed.

Here is pic of my 585BHE and a Trex.
Mine holds 15 gr more than Trex of heavy ball
powder. That's a great reason I didn't want to
cut it off. This case and my 700 gives 2
great choices for PH actions. I have both in
Enfields. Ed

Putting 700H in a third gun, an Enfield.Ed

I'm also doing a fourth gun in 700H
and the PHwill be the fifth. Just to
experiment and show how easy it is. Ed

Hear is a samle of a lighter weight hollowpoint
bullet with plastic nose that could in 700cal
for thin skinned game, It has a plastic tip
I put in with aglue gun. Lot better
streamlining. Ed

Getting some interest in my 585BHE belted
straight case from guys on other
forums.My offer is for use of reamer
and 15 free cases to get guys started.
Now plan on 4 reamers, so one can be
mainly at Panor and other barrelers that
does work for guys not doing their own.Ed

I will have 3 reamers for my 700H,
in few weeks. Couple guys talking about
having Pacnor do MRC PH in it, so I will
have extra reamer for use there.Ed

Tested couple of Macs 750 solid brass 585 turned slugs in
my 585 BHE, 185 gr of W760 gives 2700 with my
585 BHE,very good for solid brass bullet.Almost as
fast at same pressure as soft jacket 750 at 2800..
Went through 1st bundle hardwood, and into 2nd.

Reamer for my 585BHE should be at Pacnor about
June 1, and reamer for 700 about end of June.Ed

better line up 3 elephants

Here is picture of 585 BHE
showing headstamp.Ed

Here is picture of 585 BHE # two, a
Ruger 77. First is in an Enfield.
You can see round in the port.Ed

585 BHE reamers pictured are here,
and one is at Pacnor.Ed

The 585BHE reamer is at Pacnor for anyone getting
a barrel and chamber work from them.
They will chamber and headspace for my case.

The third 585 is going in a UM BBK action.
First was Enfield, second is Ruger 77..Ed

Here is pic of the 3rd 585 BHE I'm
working on.ED

The mag well on the BBK above is .065" longer
than .585BHE loaded case so I will make one
magazine rifle in 585. Single stack.Its mag well
and opening is 3.91" so you guys using the
PH at 4.05" will have lot of space.Ed

Ed, Any ETA on the 700 HE reamer?
Pac-Nor just called and my barrel will ship today. Since the actions are still not shipping I will get it chambered locally.
FYI, Pac-Nor has another 700 barrel on the shelf ready to go. Customer had ordered a .729 and it went thru as a .700. In stock no waiting ID # 345

GLZ- Just got part of 700 reamers here now,
more coming. Whenever your smith is ready
I'll get one to you. And will get one to
Pacnor before PHs are out.

I got my long 700 HE case chambered barrel
finally in a bmg size action. It is barrel
I locked onto an I-beam and got all the
load developement done over the last couple
years. It weighs 27 lbs, thumbhole, a reinforced
wrist, recoil ring on front of stock.Ed

Ed is that my old action...?

Wow that was fast...!

Yup that is the one. Real neat outfit.
I had barrel ready, just added threads
and headspaced it. Ed

Here is pic of the BBK Ultra Mag action feeding my
585HE cartridge. It has a mag box 3.90" long. Cases
loaded 3.84".It is a CRF action. Extractor isn't on,
see case easier.Action rear bridge has a aperture sight
that I made and put on it.
The PH action with longer mag box will also
work with my 585 perfectly...Ed

Here is side view of the 700HE, it is a
shellholder style, bmg size, bolt action.
Thunbhole stock has bolts through wrist, butt is
weighted, barrel is 1.7" at breech, 1.2" at
muzzle. Barrel started as a 2" breech. 1 to 22
twist, made by Pacnor. Barrel used as test barrel first.
In the pic are 3 cases, the center one is what
the gun is chambered in. First person who asks the
obvious question gets the booby prize.Ed

Here is pic of 700H 3.25 reamers.
Also CH4D is making reloading dies for my
585HE next week, anyone interested
contact me...Ed

They are working on last two small parts for PH
and getting heatreating done. They then will put
test barrel in each action to test with a
high pressure test cartridge. The
bighest bolt face will be tested with a 505
blue pill cartridge.....Gettin closer, maybe
before Christmas..Ed

ED, is anybody working on dies for the 700 yet?
Barrel in hand, holding my breath for an action

CH4D should get the 700 dies going in Nov.He is
doing a few of my 585s now.Ed

MRC is getting PH stuff heat treated and last little parts
made. Maybe by Christmas.I should have dies a going before
actions get done.
Shootin a few in the 700HE long and I'm very happy the thumbhole
stock works great. 27lb gun helps. 825gr at 2800 shoots fairly
easy. No brake, just a long heavy barrel. Ed

MRC is hoping to start delivering PH actions
next month. I think they have couple prototypes
at Orlando Shot Show. Getting closer.
Dies for my 585HE will be ready in 3 weeks or so,
and I'll have some here. Then he'll do my
700H 3.25" dies. It goes slow when you can't
dump a truckload of money on them so they can drop
everything else to work just making our stuff.Ed

We will have actions soon for 700H
as Jeff posted in other thread. I have barrel
ready to thread, stock needing only a
little inleting, barrel channel all done.
And I have load developement done for 700H
in other two guns setup here, the Enfield
and Savage 210. One load is even a saboted one
using bpi 12ga sabots and a reduced diameter
50cal lead slug in it. Loads also for jacketed
825gr and 1000gr.Ed

We got recoil now.In the big 700HE long,
shot a 1200 gr slug at 2900. But I did
Robs internal brake on it and not bad at
all. Muzzle hardly rises.Ed

Folks are pleased with the PH prototype as
shown at the Shot Show last week and SCI
this week. Rich said he looked it over and
handled it for many minutes at SCI Reno,
and says it is beautiful design.Ed

Different posts on here about stripper clips,
I'm all set for repeaters in my 700 with
the one shown in pic with my 700HE cases.Ed

Ed, any eta on dies for the 700 3.25? How about brass? I would like to get some dummies built to send to the gunsmith with my action and barrel.

Working on the dies now, takes time.
Have cases, so I can make you dummies
anytime.Can send dummies with slugs
Email or PM me or call toll free
1-877-551-2605. Ed

For those interested in doing my 585 in a PH or
other actions we got reloading dies now. Made by CH4D
CH4D has some more dies and is set up to make more.
You can get dies from CH4D or me. Also have bunch of reamers.
I'll loan use of reamers for chambering, and anyone
doing one I give a few cases to get started.
Once a few of us are going, Jamison can make a run of cases.
Second pic is of dies, reamers, and part of cases I have.
You or smith can use reamer and return to me
as I have a guy who can keep them sharpened, for next guy.
I have it in 3 guns, a Big Enfield, a BBK Ultra Mag,
and a Ruger 77. The 602 would do fine, like new CZs.
I'm going to do one in Ruger #1 later on.
Third pic is the Ruger. This cartridge is good for
7000 to 13,000 ft lbs, Loads all tested.Brass will reload
couple dozen tmes due to it straight belted design.
Case has perfect taper, as they with heavy loads, come out
of chamber with just the weight of the bolt. Ed
