Certainly interesting
But @Tentman you are already running 6mm and 6.5mm bolt guns which should do exactly the same task

Why not go back to your roots Foster and do a 25 cal single shot ?
This is one time I would advocate for the Ruger no1 and an old fashioned 25-06 with a nice new fast twist SS barrel.

With a modern strong single shot action cartridge over all length will never be an issue.
A 25-06 chamber reamer with a long throat should be around ( I will ask my contacts ).
Brass and dies will never be an issue
Just find a donor Ruger no1.

Then you don't have to reinvent the wheel

Hmmm, I already have an action that might do it, a Browing Low Wall Repro, its in 22 K Hornet just now but I have the .473 extractor for it tucked away . . .
