There will be three challenges.
The serious challenge is being sure you stay within recommended pressures for the Beowulf. The large base diameter suggests you will be working at 35 ksi to keep the bolt thrust about teh same as the Grendel at 52 ksi.
Second, and less serious is ability to feed. One get a preliminary check by comparing the angle of a line drawn between the nose and shoulder with that of the WSSM cartridges. They presumaably feed OK.
Last, and easiest, is case capacity. Use QuickDesign, a companion to QuickLoad to draw up your canidiate design. Start with tihe Beo, a near match, or start from scratch. The software will tell you the resulting case capacity. Then yiu can jump into QuickLoad and explore loads with different bullets!
