The round doesn't extract well in a single shot, or any firearm that uses a similar extraction system. Rebated rim caused problems with that.

Some guys have done a bolt conversion, but I wanted an AR. I have a .45-70 lever, and the .458 will match lower-end loads.

I'm thinking one helluva pig gun. Or Bigfoot....

Anyway, I've got pounds of powder and hundreds of bullets, so when some cases get here, I'll see if it was an itch that really needed to be scratched.

Just finished beating it together. ARs kill me, you beat the damn things together with a hammer and they shoot so good...
