Just came into a 50 BMG action and just chomping at the bit to make a wildcat for this action.

Thinking of starting with a 50 Spotter case, going the "Improved" route, perhaps necked to 416 or 458. I want to be able to reach WAY out there and Gerard and I have already started chatting about projectiles. I want to stay with a caliber that has projectiles more readily available and want to be under 50 cal.

Ideas?

Marty,

Damn good idea in fact my cousin and I have been talking about doing that very same thing but didnt have the action etc. we were leaning toward the 416 cal but 458 wouldnt be too shabby either keep us informed.

ALOHA!!!

Check out my post on the Bullet Making forum. Fritz 454 turned me a 14.5mm clone of the Sierra .338 Match King. It is one bad MoFo.

Obermeyer sells 14.5mm barrels.

you know what I wanta see...
The 458 BMG improved!

I ask one thing. You must build it so a 50 BMG will NOT chamber. laws you know...

i think the 416 400gr tsx bullets in this would be great
