I am currently developing a very large cartridge that I am going to need a rifle built for. Originally I was going to rebarrel a 50 bmg action, but the weight will be far too much for what I'm wanting.
The cartridge is a 50 bmg necked up to accept a .620" projectile. A max load (according to Quickload) produces 48,761 psi of pressure. What I'm after is a falling block action that is large enough to handle the cartridge. Think a scaled up ruger no 1. I have zero machining skills and am not an engineer, so making a simple falling block action is not something I am able to do. If anyone out there can build me such an action, give me a price. If you know of someone who can, please give me their contact information. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will upload my quickdesign drawings and quickload data to give an idea of how large of an action is required. Thanks for any help
