The biggest chambered in a Savage?

[Samdweezel05]

How big can you go? Feeding from a mag doesn't matter. Removing the bolt to eject live rounds doesn't matter. Only thing that matters is that it is a bottle neck case, no strait walled cases for me. Do they get bigger than the .338 Edge or Lapua?

Rumor has it that 460 Weatherby family cartridges have been chambered on conventional Savage actions.

Rumors...

You wouldn't have any pictures of said rumors or maybe some ballistics info for one of these rumored weapons?

How about a .408 Chey Tac on a savage large shank action. Would it deal with the recoil or the pressure?

I finished this 375 RUM last not with the lastest muscle brake quick detach design.

I doubt it.

I remember SSS stating that even a 338 lapua causes problems with the savage action eventually.
Rum is probably about as big as you can go.
