Lever Action Conversion to 450 bushmaster

[Mgderf]

Ive pondered a 35 Rem or a 35 Whelen with I have 6-800? Nosler partitions and Hornady bullets that came in a deal a few years ago and they are just sitting on the shelf. But they are all pointed so it will have to be either a bolt or maybe a Browning BLR.

Yeah, that would be an issue.
If I want to use pointy bullets I go for the Leverevolution.
At my hunting ranges their performance was admirable.

What about the .460 S&W?

What do you have that no one else has?

I have had a Siamese Mauser built into a bolt action 500 Smith and Wesson Mag
I have had a Ruger No 1 in 458 win mag rebored and chambered to 500 Jeffery
I have had a model 70 in 300 WSM rebored and chambered into 358 WSM
I have had a Howa mini action rebored and chambered in 6.8 SPC.

That's all i can think of right now. I have 2 other cartridges currently at a smith being barreled in oddball calibers

pressure too high for a lever gun. You have to go to the Big Horn Armory guns and those are just way too expensive

Do you form your own cases and load?
If so I believe I have some brass { 300wsm & 7mm wsm? } you might put to use?

I'm at the other end of the cartridge world.
Cartridges 20 caliber and under.
17 CCM
17 squirrel a cut off Hornet case
17 heeBee a blown out 218 bee case
19 calhoon from a hornet case
19 badger from a 30 carbine case
and some long out of production rounds like 22 Jet, 9x18 Ultra/police, 300 savage, 284 and others
A few Ackley Improved rifle rounds that were my fathers and Gfathers and others.

Browning BLR line offers 300 WSM that's right there at 64,000 psi

The browning BLR are pricey and something about the looks doesnt do it for me. I may be weird but I fall for guns and cartridges sometimes based on looks lol.

Yes i reform the 358 WSM from 300 WSM brass. 7 I can use but necks split more often going straight to 358.
