As I mentioned above, I had no difficulty threading a single shot shotgun barrel to fit to a Greener. There was a shoulder left. I don't think that the threads were particularly large in diameter. The changes in the Greener shotgun action were to allow a shotgun shell to be loaded and unloaded.

Well, here's a thought.
Use the existing cartridge size and source a Vickers ATK barrel (.69 calibre) capable of being threaded onto your action.
Set back & Re-chamber the new barrel for the existing cartridge albeit for bullets.
Get Accurate to build you a roughly scaled-down version of this one:

1150 grains (0.405 S.D.) , with ~0.690" of the bullet seated in the case & a 0.750" nose length.
109.0 gr. of H4227 yields 1,700 fps MV & 7,500 ft. lbs. of KME.
And Presto, you now have (probably) the only .730/700 Nitro Express in existence.
It would probably give the .577 Tyrannosaur a run for its money!
;-)
Have a Monday!
