510 Wells Build Questions
25/01/10 04:57 PM

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering if you guys can chime in with your experiences here:

I'm in the process of putting together the parts for a .510 Wells/A-Square build. I decided on this cartridge because I felt brass would be more readily available, as well as cheaper, seeing as I can just use 460 Weatherby and neck it up. But other than that, I know very little about this cartridge, other than she is a boomer. So any input here as to likes/dislikes would be appreciated, so I know what I'm getting myself into.

Secondly, any ideas on a barrel profile? I'm in the process of picking a contour, but mainly I'm concerned about weight/strength. I found a .50 BMG profile, that starts at 1.700 for the first 4", tapers to 1.350" at around 7", and then slowly tapers to around 1.150" at the 30" muzzle. But seeing as I'm leaning towards a 24" barrel (it is a hunting rifle after all), and the fact that it's not a .50 BMG, I'm just wondering what other guys have used for their own .50 builds? I want the rifle to have enough weight so that she doesn't kick outrageously, but still able to be a bit of a carry-rifle.

Anyways I'm very excited about this build, and would very much appreciate any input/suggestions/words of wisdom that you gents can impart. Cheers and all the best!
