I believe McWhorter uses McMillians on their smokeless builds

the Savage platform is a great option and are quite DIY friendly , all the parts are available from Arrowhead. If you already have a donor action there would be cost saving there ( a large shank would be preferred but not necessary). A converted .45-70 break action is another choice there are a...

Thor bullets https://thorbullets.com/

My CVA Scout has a Bergara barrel on it and it came with a radial brake, looks similar to the one the OP posted. It should be able to spin off possibly with a little heat if loctite was used. FYI Bergara uses metric threads.

I have a 210 savage ( older model) it's a tack driver with my home rolled lyman 525 slugs. Recoil was brutal , I filled the butstock with silicone caulking in layers and it really helped with absorbing recoil. love these guns.

For that application you could use a CF large shank Savage action and get a .45 cal Brux barrel bolt nose and breech plug from Arrowhead Sporting goods. This has been a DYI for quite a few guys. Get yourself an action wrench and barrel vise to set proper headspace and swap out with a .50 cal...
