Anyone shoot one of these?
Will the factory Hornady 50 Alaskan reloading dies work?
Anyone make a Form 1 suppressor for a 500 or 510 whisper that will share design ideas?
Load data?
Help appreciated.

The balistics of 510 whisper vs 50 alaskan are close that I would go
50 Ak as the brass is easy to get and cheaper, the 510 whisper
is 338 lapua that needs lathe work.
I have both and like both but I also have a lathe that keeps the cost down
when 510 brass is needed.
If you only plan to shoot subsonic loads then you could get away with
a form 1 aluminum can, but if you plan to shoot full power loads too
then I would advise a steel can.
The Horny dies are what you need for the 50 Alaskan
