585 HE -- Barrels of Cases --

[hubel458]

Last I heard he was getting a smith lined up

to get 375 done, on a Lawton or similar action. Ed

Here is what an enfield is like with weaver rail piece

mounted in the rear bridge pocket. Saves welding the bridge.

Can hold scope ring or a rear peep sight. Can use tall scope ring

on back and short one on a weaver rail piece on front.. Ed

Here is picture of a great old time 8bore double.
I like those old outside hammer, big bore guns.

The style of most break actions singles aren't the greatest, that we
we used for 12ga FH, 10ga FH, other caliber barrels we mono-blocked
in them like .585" bore for 585HE and 24ga FH.. One that is close
that we have, is the Magtech.

Well the guys have found one that is super strong lockup and looks
real nice. And has the good quality look. It comes 12ga light shot barrel,
soon be monoblocked to rifled 24ga FH, the little brother of the 585HE.

We told company if they did them with NEF style, rifled, heavy slug barrel,
for shotgun caliber only hunters, they couldn't make them fast enough.

Here is picture of 585HE, In an Enfield that Bret and Darrel in Minn
set up with great camo finish, with nice brake job.. Ed

We will have arrived when we have this big bore in our back yard,
Kind of a neat suppressor,

Here is folder shotgun guys set up as 24ga FH.

Here is another view of what we feel is a nearly perfect
break action. Guy is making a strong 24ga FH with it.

Here is picture of a 585HE MRC PH a guy set up..

Here is picture of our shorter 585 BB for leverguns, etc,
with a variety of bullets..Ed

Here is a Midland break action a guy is doing in 24ga FH.

Here is old catalog picture of different stuff used in old days
for shotgun loads. Some would be hairy in brass cases

Here is picture of a MN a guy is doing 585HE in..
It is singleshot. Redid bolt handle mounted it on the bolt
further bac, so the port could be lengthened for our long case.
Needs polishing and blueing, scope rail added.

Here is another picture of the 585HE with great looking stock.
Nice looking wood. Ed

Here is pic of Big Lawton action bolt with

our 585HE case in it.Ed

There are guys on Castboolits forum experimenting with
locking on plastic bases securely on slugs.
Making their own front heavy ones for smoothbores.

Here is picture of our 585BB case next to long 585HE.

Here is another view of the great camo job on the
585HE Enfield, a top view. Ed

About our good shooting 375 wildcat guy with cases made from our 585 case-


Hello Mr. Hubel,


We just got back on Saturday from competing at the King of 2 Miles Match in New Mexico.


We won! I came in first shooting my rifle (the one I brought over and showed you),

chambered in .375 Lethal Magnum, the round I designed based off of your case.


I'm attaching a bunch of pictures, feel free to post any of them that you want.

I do have one picture of the screen of the camera system looking at the 2500-yard target.

The hit farthest to the left and the hit farthest to the right were my 1st and 2nd shots.



I'm getting more interest in this cartridge now that the results

from this match are spreading across the web.

Happy 4th!

Take care,


Mitchell Fitzpatrick

There are pictures in the Applied Ballistics thread.

NOW his case is close to 375 Warlord case

only with a shorter neck, and longer to shoulder.

Got guys getting 585HE cases, they all think we have

''the'' case to wildcat... Could be.. Discussions/arguments over the years

about how best to make super accurate, long range 357/375/408/416s, centered on either

bmg size cases shortened and necked, other short fat cases,or long belted cases like ours

necked down, both types holding about the same amount of powder. And

I always felt cases like ours best way. Good shooting Mitch..Ed

hello Mr. Hubel,

The rule of the 338 Lapua Mag and the 408 CheyTac has come to pass.......... a new King reigns supreme ......

wildcatting on the 585 HE case IS the "New Found Power" as Mitchell Fitzpatrick demonstrated with his potent 375 Lethal Magnum at the King of 2 Mile competition recently, it took this win to awaken the sleeping peasants in this Kingdom of Fools ! Your attempts were ignored and my 375 Warlord was snubbed by the weak hearts of the lost masses and their obsession with the child sized mini "long range" cartridges !

Now they come ..... and they demand.......

 

[hubel458]

Getting out a few every week or so.

Did you get your gun done and tested yet. Ed

Here is picture of a 585HE made on a Stiller bolt action for guy in Canada.

It was made for the poster Spooksar on Africa Hunting and Accuratereloading,

by Corlanes/Rocky Mountain rifles, in Dawson Creek BC Canada, with a

Stiller action, Timney trigger. the stock is a blue/grey laminate. He imported

the barrel, cases, dies, etc.. from us, through Prophet River in Lloydminster AB.

That action similar to Lawton we had and neighbor got, that won the King Of The

2 Mile shoot at Whittington, with the 375 Lethal cartridge the neighbor made,

from our 585 brass. Made it full length case,.. It is big one on the right.

He made an 18 lb gun with McMillan target stock, a huge scope, tripod..

Nice thing is we don't need BMG action.

Here is picture of a case a Trex owner made using our 585 brass, by putting

a piece of 11/16 tubing ,cut a piece 2/10 of an inch long with a tube cutter chamfered

the cut side a bit and tapped it on the case down to the belt with the brass pipe

and fireformed it in the T Rex chamber.......Made a perfect fitting case.

Cut our brass to 3" to fit shorter trex specs. He was out of brass

and couldn't find more, so he invented his own. And our rim was big

enough so his extractor still worked ok....His original Trex case base is .685"

and our rim and belt on first case run, is .655" diameter, and base ahead

of the belt on unfired cases .631" and the brass sleave pushed up tight to the

belt just takes up that little difference. Ed.

 

[Cold Trigger Finger]

Hubel; pretty ingenious.
Saeed must have bought up all the T Rex brass for making The Champion's video series :=).

 

[hubel458]

The guy did a neat deal and figures it will do for

moderate loads and resize ok.ED

 

[hubel458]

Swamplord-- Did you get a place set up to make dies

needed to make the cases and sizing, guys asking about them. Ed
