This is my first post here, so I'm hoping to get some help. I'm into guns and shooting, but not reloading or gunsmithing. I shoot factory guns and ammo.
I'm looking into a custom Remington pump project. I have two .35 Remington's. One is an older 760 and the other is a 7600 from the 2005 limited run. I'm a fan of the pumps and of big bore .458 cartridges, but the pumps weren't available in this caliber.
The .35 Remington has a rim diameter of .460 and a .458 base diameter. Is it possible to blow out the shoulder of .35 Remington brass and make a rimless straight walled .458 cartridge? Then have my pump rechambered and rebored to match. I don't think port ejection clearance would be an issue and the bolt face wouldn't change. I would just need a custom cartridge company to make my ammo.
Does this sound possible or am I missing something? Thanks for any help.
