Pull the 7mm barrel, install and headspace the .458 barrel, 'glass bed the action into the stock, and have at it.

Yep, have run 500gr hard cast with Trail boss powder, about 900-1000fps (if i remember correctly) from a case full of it.

Don't go to heavy on the barrel, mine was a Shilen 5.5 contour with a Ruger knox, ended up sending it to get fluted to cut some weight down (they don't kick you know hilbily)

You won't be sorry with the AR mate, absolutely love mine.

So good I'm going another Wink
