swage l have fired the 50 alaskan and it is another real thumper,l stuck to the 450 alaskan though as the rifle was as new and was close enough to the most bigbore power l thought l needed for bears,l have now reconsidered and l think l would go to the 50 alaskan ,why ?cause bigger is better haha,no l do like the 50 caliber and l have the 50-140 on a ruger no1 and the fellow who made it was shooting 570 barnes out at over 2300? with no pressure signs at all,and he took his first buffalo this year with it, in the northwest territories and the bullet was like 98 %weight retention,the bullet went through both shoulders and he found it on the ice of the lake he shot the animal on.so lm kind of turning in the 50 cal direction l think. that 50-110 sounds like another real thumper and l take it your making some 50 cal bullets swage?but back to the blr's, is there anyplace where a person can get some imfo on what has to be done to these and the cost to do it swage,as lm considering picking up a blr in 7 mm mag for a project rifle,but can you shoot a full lenght 458 out of it and will it chamber properly,as that is my biggest concern,especially when l come an angry bruin.thanks
