Hey guys,

Just a quick update. I snagged my p14 donor rifle, and it is in the mail. She still has the .303 barrel on her, so I'll probably see how she shoots with that before I put the new barrel on. I've also snagged myself a bastogne walnut stock that is pre-inletted for the action. Now I just have to wait on the barrel, as the guy I'm buying from is on holidays at the moment...

There is going to be lots of worked involved with this one. Between contouring the barrel, opening up the action, getting it to feed properly, getting the weird barrel threads cut, and then trying to track down brass ($$$), it should be fun.

As an aside, I was thinking a guy might also be able to use a .50-110 case and use that as the basis for a build. Brass is MUCH cheaper, and the rimmed case isn't that much wider than the base of the .460 WBY. It also is a shorter case, so the magazine wouldn't need opening up or modifications. I think the only catch is seeing if the case can hold 100ish grains of smokeless. I reckon if it can hold 110 of black powder, the smokeless should be no problem.

Just thinking out loud...
