585 Feral
The 585 Feral is a large calibre rifle designed by Mark Savage, Heath Hendrix and Smmandts custom rifles. Mark owned a 585 Nyati and through pure laziness decided to build a wildcat round. Instead of trimming the standard Bertram basic cases back he would use the full length case and design some Aussie Custom Projectiles to suit. The Bruno 602 Action was more than capable of handling this case. The Feral is able to fire a 750gr projectile at an astonishing 2700fps making it ideal for big game and cats. The 585 Feral is not for the faint hearted with a 26 inch barrel. This 14 pound rifle has an approximate recoil of 176 foot pound(??) that is the same as pulling the trigger on nine 30-06's at once or three .458 win mags at once. The Feral is the only one of its kind however with growing interest the owner is looking to build more in the future. Case capacity: 217 grains (of what) Case length: 3.2 inches Case Base: .656 inches Case Rim: .634 inches Max Case pressure: 62,000 psi Generates approximately 12,000 pounds of energy Overall length: 3.760 inches
