cuttingedgebullets.com/shop/cutting-edge-bullets/22lrIn the comments you'll see one shooter discuss the difficulty accurately metering these small charges of powder. I haven't been over to rimfirecentral in a while, but I imagine plenty of them have tried this and will have meaningful feedback. Building a fast twist 22 to try these bullets is a big commitment since AFAIK there's just the one heavy bullet on the market. If there were a few bullets to try it would be more appealing. A WMR version would be better still.

Just a little buff or stoning of the innards.
The case hardened parts just get a little surface re-texturing otherwise they’ll be ruined, and things like the rebound slide get more properly stoned as do the main frame contact areas where needed. Some actions tolerate wolf springs without concern, others you feel a less snappy hammer drop or trigger return in which case keep the heavier springs.

I didn’t take pics of the rest but this is the lock with the tab that blocks the mechanism ground off. Easy, free, and the hole remains plugged.

A little action work. Grips. Sights/optics. Lock delete or deactivation with Tromix cylinder release. None really mandatory, but easy enough to do at home without breaking the bank.

Neat pistols there. Looks like aluminum bedding blocks set in a walnut stock? The long barreled gun isn't bad looking at all, though the grip angle still looks funky. Vertical front with curved back- that's a (Ruger) Bisley grip. The pic of the action shows the aluminum you are seeing. The blue writing is where they detail it a little more in English below it. Ah I only glanced at the pages. That's a clever system. Allows for a bedding block and a solid mechanism for the trigger linkage that's otherwise known to have some slop.

Sounds like you did the right thing the right way. Never fun stuff but it's the humane thing to do.
Take a look at cross sections of deer skulls in the meantime. It'll help you visualize your point of aim from different angles. From the side you did right- between the eye and ear the base of the ear. The brain is higher and further back than some imagine. Easy to shoot a deer in the sinuses or under the brain case if you don't know better.

Gallstone pancreatitis is a thing. Pancreatitis is awful- like you said long hospital stays with lots of pain and no food.
Gall bladder removal isn't without its risks, and you can still get phantom pains or other issues related to the area but they're pretty uncommon. Most people who get it out are much happier.
I don't know about your health in general, but I've seen plenty of people put off surgeries that'll make them feel much better- gall bladders, hysterectomies, joint work- have a heart attack or other medical issue while they're thinking it over then they've gotta live with that pain until they're healthy enough for surgery.

The barrel tapers. If you're ok cutting off the barrel band, shortening the barrel will get you a larger muzzle diameter that might be more amenable to reboring.
I'd still want iron sights on a gun like that in addition to a scope.

A call to JES would answer that one. I was surprised when he was able to get a pretty skinny tapered octagon barrel from 6mm to 338 without issue.

If you ever make it over to DFW I probably have standard large pistol to trade.
I wonder though, why not just shoot them in non-magnum loads? That's what I'd do with them anyway.

A midframe 475 is a bucket list gun for me, and the Special version would be plenty.
For that 45-70, for a few hundred JES will rebore and rechamber that for you. He did a No 3 from 223 to 357 Max for me. I haven't seen anyone dissatisfied with his work.
But then it wouldn't be a JRH built pair, so do what makes you happy. Regardless, I've found the Blackhawk and No1/3 to be a nice companion set. Considering doing another pair in 500 Linebaugh.

I swear BFR engineers look at Rugers and say "how can we make this bigger and uglier?"

Ron is very sensible and diplomatic in his approach to cartridges, by that I mean I agree with him and he never really trashes a round.
