Looks good for rechambering 50 AE guns. Hope Gary's bunch can give us a definite answer soon.

If not, I do have a couple more options. But, hoping for good news.

I know it won't work for the Freedom Arms revolvers

but it should be fine in a 5 shot Ruger.

Just wanting to make sure the 501 GNR reamer...

Will clean up the 50 AE chamber.

I will have to do the numbers but the 501 GNR is based on

the 500 Linebaugh which is fatter and longer than the 50 AE brass, so I don't see any reason why it won't.

The 500 Linebaugh case is only .005" fatter...

Which is plenty. Agree that it should work on a tight chambered 50 AE. I'll measure some fired brass to be sure.

This is going to be a good cartridge...

I have some data worked up not complete though
