| Call Dennis Olson then send him a check for US$5000. In about 8 months, you will receive a box with a 700 BMG improved in it. |

| 500grains!
I will do that. But not yet, I will wait a few years and save money and then I will buy it. If there isnt a better cartridge on the market then! |

| I believe that Dennis Olson's 700 caliber is called 700 Rimless Nitro Express, not 700 BMG Improved. He uses a McMillan 50 BMG action and his own custom walnut stock for this big boy. By the way, his lead time should be a lot better than 8 months. Have fun. |

| Overkill-Rob-Have got the first 700 Hubel Express done.Straight belted case.I think this is will be the best 700 as it will reload a hundred times, and cost a fraction of 700NE loads.In picture is 450Win-then a 458 Hubel Express,then the 510 Hubel express,And the 700 Hubel Express.I decided not to do a 600, so as not to compete with the 600 OK.Ed. |

| Rob-The belt diameter tentatively .800, rim the same, although rim could be rebated if wanted. Have developement done few weeks.Brass will be 7 bucks each delivered in US.Regular loads matching 700 NE will allow for at least a 100 reloads, makes it a bargain.Single cartridges for collectors will be a little more.
King--It is made from 50 bmg brass.
Overkill-The headspacing on mine is better and trouble free.Brass will last much longer with no shoulder to work.Ed. |

| Overkill Here is a picture of the 600 OK, a 700 cal 2050 gr bore rider and a 416 rem. The 700 would definitely handle the bears. |

| Ed, The driving section is 0.210 long.
Dan, I don't know the BC of it yet. I've have to get some chrono work done. My guess is it will be better than the 50 cal bore riders. |
