Anybody ever play with the BIG (.510) whispers ?

Montana state law limits rifle ga to .6" - it's state by state.

I've got a SA shorty with a fast twist (9.5) barrel on the way - for sub-sonic and sabots. No muzzle break (not needed for sabots). No can for many years. I'm primarily worried about excessive case volume. I may wack off an inch of the case and have Larry make me a custom gun for the shortened 50 BMG case.

I've been told optics cleaning tissue is a good filler (if you don't use a can).

I'm tryin to shorten a 460 weatherby case with a 650 grn BMG bullet into a cz 550 action, anybody play with this already? It's basically a .50 peacekeeper shortened to fit in the magazine well instead of just single shot. Ideas are helpful here, thanks

you might pick up a COW (Cartridges of the world) and have a look at the old 50 whisper, was exactly that.... a short 460 weatherby with BMG bullets in a standard "long" action bolt gun.

Why don't you go with the 338 lapua case instead? same bolt head diametre less the belt problems.+ best brass available from the market .

lapua brass brings you to the 510 whisper, but I suppose you could go a tad longer to get what you want

If I wanted to use a suppressor, and go subsonic (only), the SSK .50 American Eagle Encore barrel I had was fun to shoot. The little 50AE case looked so little with the long BMG bullets! Didn't have a suppressor then though, but the round was pretty accurate for such a big bullet in a little case!
