Hi ,
I want to build a .510 whisper. I have been looking around on the net and I have found there is only one place I can have this done. I have found that SSK is the only one making the gun out there right now. Is there any one else making a .510 whisper gun? Any help would be great.

What action are you looking to build it off of?

I have a p17 action that i would like to use. I have it that is the reason why. What would you say would be a good action?

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.

If you're building on an M1917, get a P-14 bolt for it....

Why a p14 bolt?

P14 bolt is for 303 brit a case with larger diameter rim so you don't have smith your existing bolt - heck with that line of thought - change the barrel lockup to use a nut like a savage 110 and you can make a swap barrel rifle out of it - change barrels and bolts to change calibers.

Who out in the gun world can build one? IS SSK the only one? Can any one help me out? What about making a whisper out of the 50 alaskan case? If you down load this round you can hit sub sonic speeds with no problem.

Barsmash,50 EBG, 458 SOCOM necked up to 50 caliber, zero brain damage, dies available at Hornady, reamer available from PTG

Unless you plan to shoot AMAX's exclusively this case delivers milsurp subsonic just fine with reasonable accuracy.Several bullets available for supersonic/hunting loads.
