Some more info on the Savage 212. I looked at one, got more measurements. The port is 3.812" long. Can be made longer. Bolt travel is 4.625" and can be .50" longer. And with full diameter bolt can have extra lugs in back. The Mag box has room for extra length in front of it and behind it. It could work for 12ga FH and 700HE long case. A fellow on Gunsmithing forum found a way to make jacketed slugs using copper tubing caps, the solder ones, by putting them in a die and using a shaped punch to form a round nose copper jacket, that can be filled with lead. He made .700 cal ones, different dies/punchs could be made .729, 12ga size. I got a few here and going to see what is possible. I got bigger caps also to see about 4ga and 8ga ones. Here is picture of the CBC break action with the 20ga heavy barrel mono-blocked in, with action open.Ed |
