Ok guys got a barrel boring rifling machine and working up to do a 50-110 Winchester barrel. Got just about everything to get the job done. I'm going to do cut rifling and have my first cutter body done and will probably do one or two more before I do my barrel. I'm wondering about cutter dimensions....anyone done a 50 before and willing to share info or can anyone point me in the right direction for dimensions on it and other calibers?
 
I appreciate the info. I am trying to make a cutter for cut rifling and looking for dimensions on the cutter itself and cutters in general for each specific caliber.
 
You probably know about circumferences

For seven grooves your cutter's width would be one-fourteenth of that calibers circumference - if you wanted lands and grooves to be sort of the same width
 
I think Alexander Henry s rifling system was very clever ,and pretty easy one for a home shop rifling mechanic to use,because the cutter can have a flat cutting edge ,and the cut depth self gauges .
