Yes we had the DE brake installed, but when you only weigh 140 lbs (soak and wet) yes it still moves me around more then I thought. Not to say it kicks, but I know its more then a .243 level. I would say its about a 270/30-06 level still. I'll definately try and get some pics up of it tomorrow.
Still waiting on the dewey rod. I have a few test loads loaded up ready to fire. Rem brass, CCI 250, 300g SMK, 92 and 93g of H-1000 are due up for testing as soon as the rod gets here. I loaded up the first few at 92g just to get an idea. Havent even shot a group yet, just got it on paper and shot a few rocks at 300 yards. Sure does have one hell of a WHOP!
Will surely let everyone know how it does at distance. The farthest place I have right now is 1150 yards, but you can bet I"ll be seeing how it does at that distance very very soon, with results to follow.
G'day mate !
I'm shooting the pet 92 gr H 1000 combo and it shoots pinholes from my gun. I don't think I'll even bother trying to push it harder with the way it shoots now.
I would be interested in finding out how it performed velocity wise from 92- 93 grns and if the accuracy was any better or worse with either ? I can see that at 92 grns there is room for more powder but consistant accuracy is more important to me than 30 fps more .
It will be honestly scary how accurate that rifle will be.
DUH

Sounds great, can't wait to see some pics and hear how it shoots over 1000yds! I'm hopping a brake on a 338 Lapua I'm getting together will recoil about like a 30-06. I weigh 215lbs. so I'm not expecting to get pushed around too much.
I was wondering if 2900 fps is do-able for 300 grain SMK on a 30" 9.4 twist Rock barrel. I'm waiting for the action on my rifle and I can't decide between the Edge or the Lapua.

Will definately have to get together and do some shooting! I definately need the LR practice in canyons. I have 9 points for elk, my fingers are crossed for a Mt Emily bull tag this year or next.
We went with a #7 fluted. I think its really close to what the Sendero contour is.
