Sweet !
That would be easy for me to sand into a B&C stock for the CZ 550 Magnum .510 WIN MAG.
Thanks !

Did this project ever developed ? Sounds very interesting!

Got all the components, but inline after the 416 Taylor.

I did a search of the forum and found nothing about this cartridge. Does anyone have any insight? This came up during a reading of Terry Wieland's Dangerous Game Rifles. He paints it in a favorable light. I wonder if it would be a fun round to chamber in a No. 1 Ruger? Presumably you could load it slow enough to use lead bullets for plinking. Thanks for your time!

Y'all have a 458 Lott whyfore you need bigger.
Ah that's right for squirrel.
That way when you miss one in a tree you can split half a chord of wood each time you pull the trigger.
Me thinks you is getting bored.

Thank you for your informative reply. I feel as though I have just been to the funeral of a great cartridge, however the frustration saved was appreciated.

@Forrest Halley
Seeing as that one is a no go mate just settle for a little
