Well there is a 450 Bushmaster with a .500" casehead but a larger rim as well. What about a .440" rim on a 460 S&W case? Yes factory 460 ammo runs hot but at say 40 to 45K psi chucking 250 to 300 grain chunks of lead would be cool IMHO using dies and reamers for the 460. Same concept as the Beowulf to have a plug and play system for a say a M4. One advantage could be more rounds in the mag over a Beowulf.

Please check your figures again. I believe the 450 Bushmaster has a rebated rim @.473"dia (mine measure .470") as the parent case is the 284Win. DRSS Beretta 45-70 belgian mag Tikka 512S 9.3 x 74R Baikal o/u 30-06 Looking for next one | |||

I meant larger than .440" Sorry for not being clear. It could be done with a 470 rim too 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||
