[QUOTE="TikkaShooters, post: 589781, member: 25066"] Headspacing is the easiest part of your project here. There are many cartridges that headspace off the case mouth. Any rebated rimmed straight walled cartridge such as the 45 acp uses the mouth to headspace. Forming brass sounds easy enough. You may need to inside neck ream if the internal diameter is too small. No belling of the case should be necessary since .510 bullets have a boat tail. Dave at PTG may already have a reamer print for this. You should give him a call. Your next challenge will be getting a barrel cut with a .510 bore in a diameter suitable for the Savage action. I looked into building a .510 whisper a couple years ago on a Savage action and I believe Pac-Nor was the only company making something that would fit. You could probably send them the reamer and they could get everything set up for you to screw on yourself. Good luck! It sounds like a fun project. What type of ballistics are you expecting? [/QUOTE]
