Is it possible to rechamber a ruger No.1 in .223 Rem to the German rimmed 5,6x50R Mag? The idea is a single shot rifle in a rimmed varmint round. I know, there´re many other´s, like the .219 Zipper or the .225 Win, but I don´t want a too exotic round. The 5,6x50R is made by RWS and Hirtenberg and so I can get factory ammo here in Germany.
Thanks for helping.

should be an easy job. run the reamer into it and change the extractor. great round the 5.6x50Rmag

Great project!

Don't know about the smithing but the round will exceed your expectations. From 24" 55gr - 3,400fps, 60gr 3,300fps. If the 223 has a SAAMI twist (ie tight) you should be able to use the new(ish) sierra 65gr gameking BTSP - fantastic roe bullet that will be. From 26" velocity is going to be impressive.
