    It will be shoulder fired, has to be in order to be considered a sporting round
    It's not the size of your brass that matters, It's how you tumble it.

    Egads, what a monster!

    Tell me, is the gun you are firing this from tripod or vehicular mounted? Sliding breech or interupted thread? Or are planning on using it in a Modified, scaled up, Browning M-2 Machine Gun?
    Listen! Do you hear it. The roar of cannons, the screams of the dying! Ahh! Music to my ears!

    Just a thought. Take a look at copper welding tips similar to the type used by the auto industry for their welding robots. I`ve seen these tips and they are of a thicker nose and side wall than standard pipe caps.Robert

    I just did bunch of searching and narrowed down the search to "Spot welding electrode cap" but still could not find any prices for them. thy look like what i need but cant find a place to buy them.

    I just foud this

    but it looks like the 2 closes sizes are 16mm and 20mm. one is to small and the other to big.

    I though so as well until i started looking into it. Not a lot of people know this but you can legally own and shoot 600 and 700 nitro express. thy fall under a sporting round. when the DD law was going to pass a bunch of people stood up and said wait what about our African hunting rifles and big game doubles. So thy made it possible to get exemptions for different rounds by filing the proper paperwork. once done then that round is covered for any one to use. I don't think its common knowledge because i don't think thy want to inform people that thy have trampled out rights but we can get around it.

    This smiley is called "not listening",
    should change name to "Ready for JT to set one off".

    Nice work.
    If you're gonna scope it I recommend LONG eye relief...

    its known as a "sporting exception". all it requires is a form to be filed and approved by teh BATFE. not a big deal.

    If you are looking for the Electrodes to use for Big bore bullets, try NSRW.
    The outfit is called New Sothern Resistance Welding, and they have a ton of available Electrodes, plus virgin copper and copper based alloy stock.

    Just curious,
    What is the rate of twist in the barrel your ordered for the 700?
    I think its going to need to be fairly fast.

    Cheers, John
    PS, great job on the 700
