The new jamison brass is pretty good. Depending on how hot you load the cases i can get 4-8 loadings. Dave

I will post info on the 375VM when i get the tests started. Reamers are here and i expect brass in 30 days or so. Dave

The Match Kings dont come apart at vel of 3200 through my barrel, but the twist is way too fast for this bullet type. Accuracy is not good at any distance so i stopped all tests with that bullet, no use waisting them. I have tried several solids through it, except for the extreme 7 cal...

I use predominatly all manners stocks on my custom rifles. His delivery time has slowed just a bit from several years ago but when you make great products this will happen when the orders start flooding in. Still they dont take that long vs other vendors. When you add more options to the...

Yea Ray, I did this project for me alone, i never intended to put it out to the public. I am however thinking about having the brass custom made in the future. I was thinking about a light carry rifle with a short action.

Ray, I shortened the 408 case so it only holds 90 grains of powder, its short and fat! It would be similar in capacity to the Norma case I supose. nothing wrong with wildcatting the Norma case, just thought if a guy was going to all the trouble why not use the best brass available. With my...

I will prolly just post the pics on my website. Why not just stay with the Lapua brass? Dave

Recoil is very low with this brake. It is one i built myself, Ernie has shot the pistol so he can maybe explain it more being he is the pistol expert. I change camo patterns often on my personal guns, i use them for test subjects before doing a customer project. I have several new...

I use the cheapo air brush from Harbor Freight, the one with 5 bottles in a kit. Not much to clean up, i use them until the bottles get all melted away from the solvent then just get a new kit. 12.00 usually on sale. Dave

What twist are you running the HATS through?

Kirby, Pretty simple on the brass, TTI was made by Bertram, ive never had any problems with his brass. He sent me a bunch of 408 brass to play with and have various head stamps. TTi, BB, and one other i cant remember. He told me the whole TTi story. Most of my projects are personal or...

eddybo, I found a picture of the project i was thinking about doing many moons ago. It is similar to what your doing but i was going to use the 408 cal, at that time there was no high BC 375cal bullets. The case i was going to use was the 50 Spotter, this is a CNC turned rendition of...

AP, I know absolutly nothing about the electronic ignition systems. I do have an electronic trigger that i was looking into marketing one day. I made up several rifles that had the bbl extension that the bolt locked into on an aluminum frame. I like using a solid steel action inside...

eddybo, The case looks just like a Cheytac only fatter. 180gns of US 869 to the bottom of the neck shoulder junction, should be plenty of room for the large bullet. The case has a .012 body taper, 35deg shoulder. Heavy duty brass. I have been pondering on how to go with the reamers, i...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
