Dan,

You can actually use 06 based brass instead of having to turn off the rim of 444 brass. Just use the 444 dies to do the reloading with. Headspace off the case mouth.

Jim,
I agree 100%, but I'm not sure it'd pass the scrutiny of 90% of the game officers out there. At least with the 444 headstamp, most would give it the once over and be willing to give the benefit of the doubt. You'd only have to have the cases prepped once.

The Savage 7.62x54R looks interesting but I dont think the cone is necessary, the Russian is a bottle necked case; could therefore alternatively head space off the shoulder. The rimmed round in the 30 cal barrel should probably be considered (and marked) the 'Finnish' not 'Russian' round, ie. x53R which uses a 30/308 barrel.... at least someone wont try jamming 312 diameter factory rounds in there....

As far as choice of rounds in Ohio; I'd by pass the 357 and head straight to the 500S&W!

I would love a 460 s&w or 500, but I didn't know if they could be done in a bolt action. Anyone ever did one of these on a bolt action. The wssm bolt face should be close shouldn't it.

Basically I am looking for a bolt action first if at all possible.
