I have solved the quandry of 458 vs 50 Beowulf at last. I will build one of each! But where to shop is the question. I don't want a complete upper, I can build, I've done it before. Where are people getting barrels?

458 i see Brownells has Satern barrel/bolt combos, what do you think about them? 16 inch is my plan since these are short range anyway.

Anyone tried a radical bolt? I have no info other than some seem leery of the company.

I leaned towards 458 because of bullet selection, but since my wife thinks 50 Beowulf is the coolest cartridge name ever i figured what the heck, do both.
 
Ive had a complete .458 upper from Radical and had no issues with it. Ive also used Brownells Satern made barrels in 6.5 and those were good, i would assume the .458s would be good as well. If i do another .458 it will be from Tromix parts i think....tho the .375 actually interest me a bit more right now...https://tromix.com/
