45-70 IN 'X54R VEPR

[JESS1344 508]

SOHEI,

A RIMMED CARTRIDGE ISN'T REALLY A BAR TO ANYTHING, AS THE 7.62X54R PROVES, IN EVERY PLATFORM, ACROSS THE SPECTRUM.

 

YOU JUST HAVE TO FIGURE IT IN, IN THE DESIGN SPECS OF THE WEAPON AND ITS FEEDING SYSTEM.

 

AS I RECALL, '54R LOADS AND 1895-LEVEL 45-70 LOADS RUN ABOUT THE SAME CHAMBER PRESSURE.

 

ANY IDEA WHAT THE CHAMBER PRESSURE IS ON THE .458 SOCOM?

 

YOU COULD PROBABLY, IF ITS WITHIN SPEC CHAMBER PRESSURE-WISE FOR THE AK/VEPR PLATFORM, CHAMBER THE .458 SOCOM IN THE VEPR, THOUGH THE .308 VERSION WOULD WORK BETTER.

 

YOU'D NEED A SPACER AT THE REAR OF THE MAG TO MAKE UP FOR THE SHORTER O.A.L. AND THE STRAIGHT AS OPPOSED TO THE CURVED 'X54R MAG.

 

IT COULD BE DONE, I'M GLAD YOU THOUGHT OF THAT!

With the limitations of shooting distance, i really don't see any benefit of doing this whatsoever. Just because you CAN (note the proper application of using All Caps) do something does not mean that you SHOULD do something. Tell me what this will do any better than the x54 or better than say, oh jeppers I dunno....maybe shooting SLUGS out of an S-12????? Hello??? I get 6" groups @ 100yds with the VERY CHEAP 1oz slugs..........
