[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2545794, member: 8873"] I believe can1010 would be correct about not having a shoulder and probably headspacing off the case mouth. I also think that if you want the easiest solution for headspace it will be a belted case (mentioned by sable tireur). I don’t know if you already have the action with a certain bolt face or some reloading components you are wanting to utilize, or if you are just wanting to achieve a certain level of performance? I went with a .300 RUM case as I had a bunch of them & a standard magnum bolt face action I had to make a .510 cartridge. It does headspace off the case mouth, but I don’t have issues as long as I monitor the case length. From a Savage long action I can run it as a repeater when loaded with spire point and flat nosed bullets. [/QUOTE]
