i always wanted to do a Ruger #1 with a Brux barrel and chamber 256 Newton but it would be kinda expensive and i will be turning 70 this year i don`t think anyone in my family would use a old time cartridge or wanna load for it by the time it was all done and i also got the brass ,dies ,and a scope on it . my cost would be over $3,000.00 . and this cartridge and everything would have a real low value in my estate. but i still might do it ?good luck with your build.

How do you get to the $3000 number?
donor #1 $1000.00 + Brux barrel 500.00 + machinist 500.00 + reamer 250.00 / no go gauge and go gauge + dies 150.00 or more + 200 new cases $300.00 and now a scope a Nightforce $ 1500.00 i was wrong closer to $4,000.00 i use nothing but the best as i always have with my rifles i use , a 256 Newton is not a normal cartridge go price it out.
