Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Yall better talk me out of my next stupid ideal

Seeing as how Rugers work with rimless cases,
maybe one in my 585HE. Long Belted case that outruns
T-rex and you don't have to take out so much
metal from feed trough on the Ruger.Ed

Crap,I been thinkin' about a .505 Gibbs...
now,my world seems small...
this will be fun to watch!

OK Flex, ya gonna build it?!

I have a little more math to do.
My thoughts right now are I can manage the .577 without a muzzle brake. The finished weight would be around 15lbs. Anything bigger and I would need to put a brake on it. This project would be the counter to another project. I am only planning on one really big gun. The other option was a .505 Gibbs. It doesn't hurt that I have a rifle builder for a buddy. He just built me a tack driving .416 Taylor and is working on my son's .264 custom right now. I know he will treat me right.

Ed- do you have drawings of the cartridge?

Mike- If I do this the .405 will be for sale.

Common sense should prevail and I should hunt down a .450NE Ruger but now and then I have problems with common sense. I just like the ideal of throwing a huge bullet. Truthfully when I do go to Africa the Taylor or the Rigby will go. I can cycle that .416 Taylor very fast and hit what I am shooting at while doing so. reflex264

Reflex, you need to look at this thread from AR about the 577 NE and look at Aussie Steve's remark about his 577 NE Ruger.

There is drawing of the case on Ammoguide.
It is 3.25" long, with .653" belt/rim and .634" base.
I've put it in P14 Enfields, Ruger77, FBW Model S
and Model L Falling blocks, in a NEF single shot,
in a OlyArms BBK, and big MRC PH bolt gun.
It'll work in any big bolt that 505 goes into, as
picture shows the same length for bolt gun
mags and of course single shots no problem.
I can out run Trex with one in any model gun.
And belted case design last for many firings.ED

Thanks fellers. That link is interesting.
ED- that is one more whomper stomper!!!!!!!

After reading that thread I think the gun should go on a diet. I am thinking more around 13lbs now. reflex264
