[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1230741, member: 64108"] I built mine on a Savage 10, you can get much higher velocities because a bolt gun can handle pressures that would blow an AR to tiny pieces. this is from the 458 SOCOM forum a while back. Check out the Lehigh Defense 570 grain bullets !! So that's my bullet of choice but I don't need it to cycle as I built a bolt gun. If you've never done a Savage build it's super easy. How easy ?? Think "I must be doing something wrong because it's too easy" easy, cuz that's how easy. I started with a used model 11 in .243 Win from Gunbroker for $240(any of the short actions based on the .308 work,22-250,etc). A couple tools; action wrench, barrel nut wrench, go-gage.
