Mini Compendium of Big Bore Cartridges

Actions, etc.


The most difficult portion of a big bore custom rifle project is selecting and paying for the appropriate action. Some cartridges, such as the .585 Nyati and .505 Gibbs, and 600 Overkill are best built on a magnum mauser action which can cost from $2800 on up for the action alone. Actions suitable for at least some of the cartridges listed above are available from Granite Mountain Arms of Prescott, Arizona, David Gentry ( http://www.gentrycustom.com ) of Belgrade, Montana, Hartman & Weiss of Hamburg, Germany, Karl-Heinz Ritterbusch of Germany, Reimer Johannsen of Germany, Gottfried Prechtl of Germany, Vektor Arms of South Africa, Waffenfabrik Hein ( http://www.rifleactions.com ), the CZ550 action from Brownell's catalog, and the P14 Enfield action. Some of the cartridges, such as the 500 Jeffery, 495 A-Square and 550 Express will fit on a standard sized action such as a Winchester model 70 or Mauser 98 after extensive remodeling.

Barrels and reamers for these cartridges are available on a custom order basis from many of the usual sources. Dies for most calibers are available from CH4D ( http://www.ch4d.com ) in Ohio, RCBS in Califonia (through http://www.huntings.com ), or Redding ( http://www.reddingreloading.com ) in New York. Bullets may be obtained from Woodleigh (distributed by Huntingtons and Midway in the USA), Barnes, Hawk, and others.

By its nature, any encycolopedic writing such as this is abridged and therefore incomplete. To the extent that I have failed to mention any relevant manufacturers, products or gunsmiths, I offer my apologies, because anyone who provides a product or service to the big bore market is advancing our sport.
