I do not see this option on their website anymore. Has anyone heard if they have cancelled this chambering? | ||

AHR is probably more interested in the .600 OK right now.-Rob | |||

Rob, Do you know if Plummer is serious about offering the 600 OK? Should I contact him directly? What is the rim thickness of the 600 OK? [ 11-23-2002, 03:12: Message edited by: 500 AHR ] | |||

I'm certain Ed at AHR would love to build .600 Overkills commercially. He is working with me on the CZ action mods and certainly has all the expertice necessary.-Rob | |||

Rob, Thanks for the info. I sent Ed an email. I actually like the 585 idea better from a bullet availability standpoint. The .62" bore is enticing though. Jeffeosso, Nice to have you around to inform everyone. Keep up the good work. [ 11-23-2002, 21:51: Message edited by: 500 AHR ] | |||

Jeffeosso, Why do you want to see me gone so badly? Pecos shares your desire, but cannot stop posting to me. I even questioned him about it and he posted back. Further I told him to stop posting to me and I would leave. Funny he did not. I won't go, but I will cut back on my posting. Unlike many, I post here (seriously) to help my fellow shooters with questions they might have. I also post here (unseriously) to make the posier wannabes honest and to screw with their fantasy lives. Which are you? If you are the former we can, and should be, friends. If the latter, just remember it is all in good natured fun. BTW, I spoke with Plummer about a year ago about the 585 AHR. At that time he was still R&Ding the rifle, but provided me with a quote. He was to let me know when he was ready to order barrels. I have not heard from him and I have not followed-up, until now. I know that Rob has been working with AHR so I figured I would ask the question here (reason for this thread). Rob replied and I then decided to follow-up. The 600 OK is an intriging cartridge, and I may actually have one made, but I like the more "readily" available bullet selection of the .585 bore. So I asked Plummer to provide me with an update on the status of the 585 AHR and the 600 OK. I suspect I will hear something Monday or Tuesday. Would you like to know what he has to say? Have I explained myself sufficiently? There is no trolling going on here. In all honesty I was shocked that I was not openly attacked for sharing all that case capacity data I shared yesterday evening. FYI, most of my serious posting is done via PM now. There seem to be several members that do not want to be harrassed for speaking to me publicly, so they do so privately. This is fine with me, is it ok with you? | |||

500grains, Here is what Ed had to say about 585 AHR. "The 585 AHR is still alive and well, but I have really been pushing the 500. I'll get it going again the first of the year and I will let you know.." He also said they are doing some action work for hte 600 OK. I prefer the 585 diameter bullet, though myself. I will await Ed's reply next year. Actually, IMHO from a business standpoint I think Ed's approach of pushing the 500 makes a WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE than pushing a 585. The 585 is just COOL not practical! | |||

500ahr, thanks for Ed's update. It sounds like Ed has let the project languish for whatever reason. I am not sure what is more practical about a 500 compared to a 585. Both cost a lot to build, a lot to shoot, and recoil is excessive. In my opinion, neither of them is appropriate for a customer who is not an experienced reloader and capable of withstanding a battering at the shooting range. But this sport is about fun after all, and I will not let practicality interfere with fun. | |||

500grains, Perhaps I spoke out of turn. I do not have any experience with any of the 585 bolt actions. I do have considerable shooting experience with the 500 AHR and 505 Gibbs. To me both of these rifles are the maximum I can hunt with. Recoil is to the level I can barely operate the gun in a timely manner. I can shoot a 416 quicker, but in my experience the 500's do a much better job of shocking (slowing down and killing the prey) than the 416 so I can live with a little slower second shot. I made my comment about the practicallity of the 500 over the 585 based on an assumption that recoil would be "over the top" from a hunting perspective with the 585. Again I have no experience with the 585, so that statement is by no means correlated to the real world. I would agree with you 110% that both the 500 and 585 require above average capability to withstand heavy recoil and advanced knowledge of reloading.
