My Latest Project

[Nickle]

I'm actually considering building a 408 Chey Tac on a 1917 Enfield action I have. I've always wanted something different, and I consider this a "Poor Man's 50 BMG Rifle". It also would be PRK legal, and has a flatter trajectory than the 50 BMG. Dies are expensive, and ammo would be as well, even if I make it.

305 solid MV 3258, 100yd 3081, 200yd 2903 ME 7228, 100yd 6431, 200yd 6431

400 solid MV 2822, 100yd 2724, 200yd 2623 ME 7099, 100yd 6590, 200yd 6590

419 solid MV 2800, 100yd 2672, 200yd 2567 ME 7139, 100yd 6620, 200yd 6620

Way more gun than I need.

The late, very much lamented magazine Tactical Shooter did several articles on it.

Hmmnn. Overall length of 4.42 in and case length of 3.04 in.

Is this thing even going to fit in an Enfield action?

Regards

It's based on the 505 Gibbs and they fit. Probably be a single shot only proposition, but then, I've had a Rem 722 (Short Action) in 300 Weatherby before. Had to take the bolt out to remove a loaded round.
