Another application for our 585 HE is for guys with the 14.5mm PTRDs, to use our case with chamber insert. In many places 14.5 cases are scarce, real expensive, as well as most 14.5mm cases being steel are not the easiest to resize/reload. Our case sizes like regular cases and can be easily reloaded many times. And in a PTRD with almost a 5 foot long barrel can get 650gr spitzer bullet to the same speed the 14.5mm gets a 900 gr using 3 times as much powder. 3300 fps. Or get a 900gr at 2800. Great possibilities for fun shooting. And tactical use in a place where it would be useful to reload in the operations field, where steel cases are scarce. A 100 cases do over 2000 reloads. I like Enfields to put our 585HEs in, for reasonable cost guns. . Here is inexpensive way to fancy up the Enfield Bolt handle by cutting the dogleg part of the old handle off and welding on inexpensive contoured handles I found, one of which is like Ruger 77 handle, one on the right . Something even a novice like me can do..... A lot of guys are crazy about CEB bullets. Here are light 450gr ones in our 24ga FH. The hollowpoint can range in weight 450gr to 700gr.. The 24ga FH is nice complement to our 585HE for the shotgun only deer hunters... Ed

For lightweight plinking, deer hunting, etc, in 585HE as well as 24ga FH here is picture of 58cal Hornady sabot that holds .451/.452" light bullets 225 to 300 gr. A way to shoot targets economically. Low recoil but a big bang and satisfaction. That sabot is one made for ML, but with .452" bullet in it is a real tight fit in brass cases, to stay in place and give good ignition. A 250 gr bullet would go about mach 4 with a top load.. Here is what 585 bull barrel, target blank looks like, 1 5/8" OD and 32" long. It'll go in heavy action of some kind. 4th one from the left. The one in yellow sleave on top, is a heavy contoured one with muzzle of .980" ..The 5th, 6th, 7th blanks on bottom are straight 1.375" 585 regular twist blanks. One in paper wrapper is slow twist 585 barrel...Ed

If a guy sets up 24ga FH we don't have to make
special dies, a set of 577 Ne dies work,
Got guys doing them in NEF and other break actions,Ed

Here is picture, nice cast bullet I like for the 585HE and 24ga FH. It is .585" diameter and 650 gr and these particular ones are a hard lead alloy, plus they've been heatreated. They are about as hard as copper jacketed softs. These have a flat base, and fairly streamlined.. But to penetrate good and do great damage to game or target they can be soft lead and hollowbase like Minie Bullets. Here is picture of timber drilled through with .585 soft lead Minie from 585HE. Picture is the back of 6x6 timbers where Minie bullets came out. Ed

In Canada there are 3 guys there now setting up 585HEs, and one setting up 24ga FH. Another friend setting up a 585HE handed out a bunch of cases and info sheets at the SCI convention. We are getting some more reamers made. Some more dies sent here. Another pallet load of cases coming. Here is picture of a light spitzer bullet in the 24ga FH case, will work in 585 also. Good for hunting and medium range target work. Here is picture of 585HE we did in the FBW with regular two piece stock.We put a tenon on the forearm to wedge into the front of the action below the barrel and a tight barrel band on the front. Ed

Here is comparison of our 585HE and Trex case, and while we have barrels of cases and more coming and many available in stock in AUS, many guys with Trex guns can't get cases. Here is picture of a neat falling block that could work for our 585HE with little work, the Wickcliff. Here is picture of the singlestack mag box we built for Enfields fitted to the bottom of BBK action.Very little changing and it fits a lot of different actions, as a fixed magazine, with its own feed lips,and we load from the top.Ed

Here is picture of a 585HE we did in a Mauser 98 as a singleshot test gun. We used a composite stock we adapted to fit action. Weighted to 12 lbs. And speaking of singleshots a fellow in the Yukon is just finishing up one in a Ruger #1. Here is one reason to like 585 calibers is bullet varieties, this picture is only about half the bullets and slugs we know of, and most can easily found. Ed

There is couple 585 videos on Swann Gunsmithing's Facebook site; Of our 585HE in first Ruger #1, that was done in Australia, set up for the poster Tankhunter on the AR big bore forums. That gun killed the first AUS buffalo by a 585HE, that I posted picture of above. You can go direct to the page and click on the videos to watch the test firings.. https://www.facebook.com/swanbarrels/videosHere is picture our 585HE in a Montana PH action in a MPI stock, with the style of a CZ stock, that a guy is setting up. The stock will be finished brown and metal finished with a Gun Kote finish...Ed

One of the first of modern 585 caliber wildcats, since WW2, the 575 Miller Greiss Magnum, was first in records in the fifties, It was made from BMG brass shortened to 2.70" long and necked up from 50 cal to .585" with a little sharper shoulder.. They rebated the rim quite a ways to fit 98 Mauser bolt.Used a special action. Listed as a shooting 750gr bullet about 2400 fps. It holds about 150gr of ball powder under a 750 gr bullet, maybe little less than 3" 50cal spotter case, where our 585HE holds 180gr under a 750gr'. We made one for experimenting on a full length BMG case.With rim left same as the base and would need a BMG sized bolt and action. I'm glad to be a big bore wildcatter, and happy to be in the company of big bore nuts, old and new. Years ago when guys did big wildcats they took what was available, to rework, and maybe they could have used the 3" spotter case if they could have found a barrel full. Here is picture of the M&G Mag .Ed

Probably first 375 caliber cartridge made from 585HE necked down, the 375 Warlord. Guy did a real nice job, with what looks similiar to a Weatherby style shoulder. Kinda outdoes Weatherby & Cheytac. We have cases with no headstamps for wildcatters. First picture I got sent me today off of facebook and this one is from the great sniperforums. Another fellow is planning on shortening the 585HE to maybe 2.4", for use Marlins and Henrys, and other leverguns, redoing their 45-70s. With the belt they will have good headspace control. Without a rim that takes up circular space, say like our 24ga FH, but which is perfect for break actions like our 24ga FH in a Magtech...Ed

Another action we found that isn't priced 3 grand
or more that will work great for our 585HE is the
Stiller bolt action that is made for Cheytac based
cases. Less than 1200 dollars. Compares in size
to the Montana PH actions we have put the 585 in.Ed

Here is picture of 375 Warlord next to our 585 case he made it from. He is going to make couple later necked down to 416, and 458. There is another guy working on doing one necked down to 357 wildcat. Here is a picture of our poster Biebs on AR, 585 HE, in a MPI stock. He used a big Enfield action, with a fancy jeweled bolt. We found couple other big actions for our 585, that can even feed really long overall length loaded cases, like 4.5" long or more, if you are using long pointed bullets for real long range target and hunting work. One is Lawton 8000 Cheytac action, and the other is Stiller Cheytac actions made similiar, justa newer version. Both actions come in 1.45" diameter and a 1.60" diameter recievers. And Vestals Gunsmithing in Virginia does great work, decent prices, has these actions and will build you fancy 585 HEs. .. He has, working with another guys mag box setup, setup an extra long, good working, single stack, center feed, magazine..He has our 585 HE reamer on hand, we have barrels, cases, and reloading dies..Ed

Here is couple different setups our guys checking for our 585HE in a long, Lawton Cheytac action. First laminated thumbhole stock. Second in a Hogue Compstock. The action can mount a scope rail like shown on the table in 1st picture or a receiver sight in 2nd picture. The scope rail is a piccatiny,. if you need long range work. The stocks used were wide ones for REM long actions, just add recoil block ahead of recoil inleting for the longer action, drill new screw hole Open the stock forward to original bolt hole for longer cases and mag. About Enfields for our case, one of my favorites, Some don't like the sporterizing, welding bottom metal straight. Many think straightening is a huge job needing special jigs, etc, Not really, just use one for a jig with a bolt, to weld on the straight extension, Do top weld, then cut old extension that is under off with a thin cutting wheel, then weld bottom. When we bolt the short piece on the one we are straightening, we grind the short slant off so the added piece lays on there flat. The one you cut off can be used as the top extension for the next one!!! Just keep on building...Ed

Here is picture of another neat sporterizing deal for Enfields. On those without rear bridge pocket welded up, we just mill down and shape it so debth of the pocket matches bottom section of weaver rail and screw or epoxy it in. Shape to drive in hole tight. Can use as a rear scope ring mount or mount for peep sight like a compact UTG sight... If we have a welded up Enfield rear bridge, then we can use sight like on this gun a guy is doing. Has a rosewood laminate stock. He will have it checkered, sanded, with fancy finish. Here is a fancy stocked 24ga FH built on a NEF, built by a guy in Canada. Its straight back, high comp stock, handles recoil great... Ed More about 585 BB short case for lever guns, pistols,AR Uppers, Work in 71s, later 1886s, Henry steel frames made for 45-70. One guy is putting one in single shot action set up with Contender style pistol grip for testing in long rifle barrel, to simulate pistol recoil..Be very brisk recoil in a case that holds 110 gr powder under a light Minie bullet Maybe work in a Rossi Judge with heavy barrel. Or rolling block rifles and pistols....Ed

Oh the chamber takes most of the pressure. We keep the pressures within the limits of what the shell bases and/or gun types will hold.
Like in a NEF, 24ga plastic case we do about 14,000 psi max, but in brass 24ga case about twice as much.The plastic case is the limiting factor on the first and gun style is limiting factor on the second example..
Our 585 cases are $3.70 each and loaded rounds 5 to 7 bucks each depending on bullet or slug used, in volume. Ed. I was wondering about that. That cartridge in that NEF scared me to death looking at it.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

safe limits figured out.Ed

Here is a picture from the back of a big Lawton action that our 585HE fits in nice. Scope rail on there is tapered for long range shooting. Here is what our wildcatter buddy is making from our 585HE brass to see how they look and experiment with. He is getting reamers, dies, and gun setup first for the 375. In some ways big bore shotguns and rifles are sexy. By looking at the shape of the fire and smoke cloud.... Thanks for picture, to the great NitroExpress Forums site.

A poster reading our threads said '' I'm slowly becoming a recoilapheliac''.. That is neat term , and very glad that folks are catching the big bore fever. Here is a simple, yet neat peep sight we can use on the rear sporterized bridges of Enfields, works on other rear bridges also.Including shotguns. I like peep sights the best for most shooting. They also come with flat bottoms also for bridges and receivers that are flat on top. Another picture of the 585 HE one of our guys put in the MPI stock.. Here is another pic of our guys 24ga FH in the NEF On straight sided cases like our 585 HE the die set has a mouth expander die to make it easy to insert bullets. The die flares the mouth, but I always felt that doing what is really a relative relatively sharp flare, and then the slight roll crimping the same area of the case into a groove on the bullet or slug, shortens case life. So I just use expander plug out of the die, by hand, using just the bottom of of the expander plug and just push it in a little, wobble it around a small amount, bullet goes in ok, case mouths last longer, good for dozens of loads, with moderate hunting and target loads.Only takes a few seconds and less work that has to be done in the press ...

Here is video by Corlanes Sporting, Dawson Creek, BC, CAN. Known as, Rocky Mtn Rifles, video on Youtube of them testing our 585 HE in a barreled action, they are building for a guy. They are shooting it into their big bullet trap with test load.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vzQjRGfT1A Allan and Grant Swan in Australia are building 585HE for a guy, the second they built. First one killed the buff pictured earlier . AHR and Vestals will make folks here in US a 585 HE. Here is another view of a Lawton action big enough for 585HE.. Here is picture of Rossi SS with 585 barrel mono-blocked into it, chambered for our 585 BB 2.17" case, to do testing in a light rifle with just pistol grip to simulate the case in pistols. Others going to put case in leverguns, autoloaders. We got plenty of cases Ed

I feel that Bruce Bertram has done a huge amount for big bore shooting. Some of you know we worked on the 12ga FH.
We have heard that fellow big bore nut, Nathan Vale in AUS, is
working with Bertram in making order of full length 12ga From Hell cases.
Drawn cases as strong as BMG brass with unbreakable rims.
Any wanting some, and maybe get in on the run, contact Bertram
at the email -- b.bertram1@bigpond.com ...... Ed
