Magazine fed 500 S&W/460 S&W

[heft]

Just curious whether theres any way of making one of these. Someone posted a 460 s&w bolt rifle on Youtube, but I have no idea whether it was a single shot or held more.
Thanks.

Jeesus.... the humanity!

I can't even imagine a belt bed .500 S&W small weapon platform.. how much would that be in $$/secs!

I should be more clear. Fed from a box magazine, rather than a revolver or tube.

Buy a 410 magazine fed shotgun.

Bolt, magazine etc. will be “already sized” for the 460.

The barrel..... that would need a bit of work.... I don’t think a 410 bore would hold up to a full power 460 @ 50Kpsi...

I’m fairly sure I’ve seen a Ruger 77 in that calibre for sale someplace. Maybe IRG or Prophet River.

They make Ruger Americans in 450 bushmaster.
The issue with 500 S&W is that its a rimmed cartridge, so you get rim jams and issues with a bolt gun's extractor.

we've had ruger #1 single shots in stock in 460 but not a repeater.

They make magazines for 357mag and 44mag for the desert eagle and those seem to function properly, just copy that design but make it a little bit longer
