    500S&W in ruger american

    Toying with the idea of this build,

    Donor rifle is a Ruger American in 450BM.

    Reasons:
    not have a 11/16-24 thread (factory thread)
    Better selection of projectiles to run subs & high powered
    because its a .50

    Things to consider:
    Rebarrel
    opening up the bolt face & extractor
    Magazine?
    increased chamber pressure, 60kpsi vs 38kpsi

    If i've missed anything please chime in.

    Cheers

    Colin
