| Ok; it's pictured in my brain. Here is what I would do. Get a 460 reamer. Grind it so it will cut at the shoulder face. Put a .500 pilot on it. Since the shoulder is about .560 and you need one about .535 or so, might want to grind it a bit smaller. Cut the throat with a .510 throater; I will loan you that one. Move the belt back. Or cut the belt off and ream the belt with another reamer. Or bore it. Not hard if you have a tool grinder. |

| An alternative way to more or less the same cartridge is the 500 Ultramag. Use a 50-110 reamer to cut the basic chamber, and then lengthen it as desired using a .50 N&T reamer. It headspaces on the mouth of the cartridge, because no belt on the ultramag. I've got both those reamers, to do exactly that. You fireform 375 ultramag with a load of cream of wheat to blow out the neck straight, trim to length and good to go. Can use 50-110 dies to size and seat. |

| The .495 A2 doesn't straight taper to the case mouth. It has a ~0.400" parallel section or ghost shoulder that starts at ~2.400" from the case head. |
