  You can have one build by the stubbing process.

   I am anxiously waiting for D and T to complete the one he is building for me  ;D  ;D  ;D

I think that round would be a natural in the Handi. It is relatively low pressure compared to others (like the 25-06, 270, 243) which would be helpful in the Handi frame.   Handi already has .270 barrels too, so only a rechamber and a different extractor is all that is necessary.  I would love a superlight in that caliber (if they could make it shoot), or a stainless.
