bolt head issues

The case has a rim diameter of .583 where it fits in to a bolt, as opposed to a .532 dia. on a standard magnum. You could rebate the bolt heads or open up the bolt face to accommodate the additional diameter..... or get a large Sako or Weatherby action. I've heard of Savage bolt heads being opened without too much issue, and it looks like the extractor will slip over the rim, but I havent tried it yet. I've also heard of the .510 being chambered on a Rem. long action.

I've had the reamer and a length of barrel for the better part of a year and havent had time to work on it. If you do a search there's some info about a man named Nick that can help get one done.
