Hey guys,

WOW! Thanks for all the input so far! There is quite the wealth of info being shared here. And of course, with that, it brings more questions

****

Altamaha, a few questions for you (and I apolgize for my ignorance, as I'm fairly new to this game):

-When you say "face the receiver", what exactly does that mean?

-Regarding the barrel recoil lug: How does a guy usually "attatch" one of these to the barrel? Is a block of steel just milled rectangular, contoured to fit the barrel, and then silver-soldered into place?

-Lastly, regarding the 50-110 case, if you do indeed have some kicking around, I would certainly be curious to see how many grains of powder it could reasonably hold. I can snag 50-110 brass for around $1 a piece. 460 WBY is $65 for 20, and 500 nitro is around $3.60 per case. But it seems to me that most of the .500 boomers are running around 90-105 grains of smokeless, so if a 50-110 could hold that, it would make for a more economical "boomer" haha.

-Oh and feel free to post any pics. I always like to see what guys use to make things work.

I wish I could do the barrel contouring/threading myself, but I don't think I have the skill, nor the tools, to accurately make the threads. The contouring may be possible, but I think I may have to send away for those sorts of things. I wish I had a "for-real" lathe...

****

xausa, that sounds like quite the cartridge, and certainly sounds reasonable. Plus the fact that it works in the factory magazine box makes it seem very attractive as well. PM sent.

****

Anyways, thanks guys for all your input. With a reception like this, I will continue to "think out loud" here and see what comes up. It is fun figuring these things out, and especially trying to make them work within a college student's budget. Yes, I could just send it to a smithy/machine shop, but unfortunately I don't have the money for that at the moment. Plus it's fun documenting/building the projects. It worked for my .375 Taylor and my shotgun build, so why not this, right?

Cheers and all the best -Cameron
