Being off only a few thou here and there you can have a scale version of the 50 bmg using the Ruger brass and the high bc 338 bullets. Just multiply the 50 BMG dimensions by .66 and you can have a less punishing hunting/target gun. Would be an interesting 1000 yard gun. Fun concept I thought. 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) | ||

wasn't the 50bmg just an up scaled 30-06?  | |||

Yep. For the 338 would there be a funky bolt face size? I'm assuming it wouldn't use propriety primers like the 50 BMG. Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too! Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.  | |||

It would be the 532 boltface and the 375 Ruger brass with normal primers. 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) | |||

Some carts make new land, like the .500 Max, the .577BME. This one is not one of them.............   Bent Fossdal Reiso 5685 Uggdal Norway | |||

50 BMG .80" actual casehead x.66 = .528" Ruger casehead actual is .529" 50 BMG case length 3.91" x .66 = 2.58 Ruger max length is 2.58" .510" bullet x .66 = .336" So...... since you have the most basic dimensions exactly the same just reduce the others in the same ratio. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.
