50 Alaskan Subsonic build help needed

[ohnomrbillk]

Talked to JD Jones, and for case prices, he says the 50 Alaskan is hard to beat if you can live without a bolt action. I have a Ruger No. 1 in 458 Lott that I've been thinking about rebarreling, so the host is already here.

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

Thanks Redtazdog,

Would you be willing to share some load data? What are the dimension's of your SSK suppressor? Input greatly appreciated.

JDJ also has one called the 50-70-750. The old 50-70 shooting BMG bullets, whisper with a rim.

Thank you for the other suggestion. I have pretty well settled on the 50 Alaskan in a Ruger No. 1. Selling off a few toys to finance the rodeo. Will post results of my project when it comes to be.
