yeh, I was suprised too. Ive only shot a couple groups with it so far though. Could be luck. I am working on a shorter version that will cycle in a long action savage. I already know what brass I will use too. Not RUM though, something cheaper.
Im taking orders for barrels.

That works for me. I love it.
Would this round work in a Remington Long action? Surely it would since you've got it in a Savage.
Buisness partner in RSVL eh? I have got to meet him...
What is the recoil like?
What is RSVL?

Its a small world aint it?
I'll be off this Friday. I'd like to see it. PM inbound.
In case you're interested a guy who posts on the Accurate Reloading forum has developed something similar. He had a series of them based on RUM cases and the 500 was designed to headspace on the case mouth. He used Win M70 CRF actions for positively retaining the case against the bolt face. He called the B&M wildcats and I understand SSK did the chamber work and have the reamers.
JFE was that a .500 or a .510? Big difference in bullet selection there.

Here is another entry into this exciting concept. Cross Outdoors .50 TAC rifle and cartridge. The .50 TAC is new and you will have to email about the latest incarnation on the Remington 700 Long Action platform.

The bullets you might look into for your application provided in .510 diameter, particularly the Subsonic section of bullets:

Just FYI.

those look nice. I plan to make my own though. I may try a few to start out.
Ive run across the cyrus before. Very nice. It was one of many inspirations. I just wanted to feed it on the cheap.

the reamer for the sub-sonic mag fed .510 is on its way

I see Savage has a new modular system 110 out with a single stack detachable clip chambered for the 338 Lapua. It was tested by the NRA staff at 1000 yards and turned in some very impressive groups with factory ammo. I wonder if that would be long enough for your 50?
BIC/BS
All 0.500" I believe ... using shortened RUM brass and now 375Ruger basic brass.
There's also a 510" short actioned wildcat floating about in Australia using (hazy memory) a 505Gibbs or 500Jeffery sized case with rebated rim and shortened to 2.1" for primarily subsonic use.
Cheers...

more pictures of the .50 razorback project!
bullshop,
It is about .4" short for the razorback when using bmg bullets, but it would probably work with some .510 hunting bullets. The only problem is, the .338 savage is $2000 before you put a .510 barrel on it. I wonder what they would sell an action for.

we got 3100 fps with 300 gr barnes bullet, without pressure signs, thinking maybe we can push it to 3300 fps!
