vapodogIt would be best to rechamber to .416 ASS_CLOWN "Improved Rigby"....mmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccchhhhhhhh cheaper. Far better velocity, much better case life, and you can still shoot factory ammo in it!!!

Lar45Yes, how about a 416 Ass-Clown? Get some of those 600OK cases and neck them down! Then the extra weight would be needed.

gringo_pistoleroSTOP...I voted wrong. Please detract one 450 vote and add one to the 550 column. In shame I will be changing my residence to Florida by the end of the week.

KevHI,
AC, I think I would go with a 450 Rigby sounds like a great round,Kev

gringo_pistoleroWhy not neck a 700 down to 600 and put it in a bolt gun with a slant box magazine? 2400fsp with a 900gr bullet anyone? Has anyone tried this yet?

ASS_CLOWNRobgunbuilder,
458 AssClown, not a bad idea! The Ruger has the lug extention so control should be there, I would have to fabricate a new mag box and floorplate however to get any kinda magazine capacity.
On the down side, it would be A LOT more work than a 460 WM or 500 A Square.
Of course I could also do a 510 AssClown. Have you already done a 50 caliber wildcat on the 600 OK (I am thinking you have, in which case my wildcat would seem redundant)?
More exotic I could do a .488 AssClown and shoot 475 No 2 Jeffery bullets. That would be unique.
Of course a 475 AssClown would have the added appeal of cheap 400 gr pistol bullets for varmint hunting and plinking.
So very many possibilities.
