Just got back from doing some testing with the redesigned chamber and new barrel and just tested some 200gr FTX with Lil-Gun and max load produced 2190 FPS out of a 16.5" barrel.  Looks like a solid 250 yard killer! This baby should stop some hogs and then some! I will be testing accuracy soon and will post pics at that time. MGP

.35 Rem, .460 S&W, .45 Colt...  Is there another section or post(s) that have been missed?  You provided just about nothing, for details.

Sorry i forgot it has been over three years since i developed this round heres a link on the first post

I shortened the chamber so now you can use 6.8 SPC small rifle primer brass with very minimal trimming after fireforming. This round uses standard 6.8 bolts and as you can see a pic in the first post a slightly modified PRI mag i have 5 and 10 round mags made for this round and the cuts in the mag do not protrude out of the magwell but this is a hunting round so i dont see the need for 10 round  mags unless someone wants them.

This is no 458 socom or 50 beuwolf but it is a hard hitting round that is a lot cheaper to load and shoot and looking at the ballistics this should perform out to 300 yards on all medium game and it doesnt kill on the shooters end. If anyone is interested im me and we can talk. Thanks MGP
