Hi Guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been reading a few threads here on Cast Boolits about the .50 Hush Puppy and it's really got me interested.

I have a 8mm Mauser 98k that's been sitting collecting dust for over 20 years and I'm wondering if I could get the bolt opened up a little and a new barrel for it in .50 Hush Puppy (without selling the farm).

I'm just a plinker looking for something new. Not interested in a suppressor or anything. Just something fun.

Do you think it would be worth the effort? I'm a little short on cash and have this nice, strong action just sitting here doing nothing. Seems like a no brainer to me but you're the experts.

Comments?

I don't know why not. I've built several. My personal is on a Win M70 action, which is just a Mauser clone.

I love the round. Its cheap, easy to reload and it hits like a ton of bricks. What's not to like?

how do you reload it? 50 ak dies?

No. Use the parent case dies, 7mmWSM.

wow, that's nifty! how do you expand the case after sizing? And the seater just works as is? with whatever spud in the center matches the bullet tip you are loading?
