I haven't decided on the bullet for regulation, but it will either be the rem 405 at 2150 or the hornady 480 dgx at 2000fps.

Not trying to match the 450 Ne .. though the cases are close enough (i secitoned and weighed and did water capcity on them)...

I've decided to sleeve the huglu.. much as it shoots well for me as a shotty .. I have taken it out THREE times in a year... my stoger will work for shooting skeet (really)

Pics before hacking it up..

I've got 2 mcgowen 458 barrels, and one is turned down to be a sleeve already... the other is roughed is is cooling for the night. We'll make it better soon.

I am going to ream and thread the chambers and the barrels and then use the 45/120.

Trust me, the instant I clip the barrels from 28 to 23.5, the resale value is out the door for anyone but me...

only fools venture where angels fear to tread, right?

If I can make it shoot at least as well as my spartan, though, it WILL be prettier.
