    First Long Range Build Completed

    Well all testing has been completed and I'm very happy with where this project ended up. I'm definitely hooked on long range shooting and will be doing many more builds like this in the near future. I am taking all the knowledge I gained and will be improving on them in upcoming builds. To fund...

    I'm gonna be running these guys next. Its an older single feed design that CE no longer produces on a regular basis. They are full bore and do not have a bore rider hense the sealtite band being so close to the case mouth. There is very little bullet in the case and have a hollow base, so they...

    You could go with a cross canyon arms short mag. Ita basically an ackley improved wsm case. That will get you very close to RUM type speeds with the right bullets. It seens as though some of the Cutting Edge bullets you can run a good bit faster than their lead core counterparts due to the...

    First Long Range Build Completed

    Double checked with a second chrony and the b.c. and drop values are spot on out to 400 yards which is the furthest I've ran the combo so far. The speeds are correct. Part of the speed comes from the modified throat allowing for longer coals, and higher powder charges. H2o capacity is only 2 gr...

    Played around with some of the 225 gr MTH bullets today. Only loaded up enough for chrony testing and to shoot one 3 shot group. 65 grains of RL17 netted a hair over 2900 fps with a very tight velocity spread. Accuracy however was only about 1 moa. I'm playing around with the seating depth some...

    First Long Range Build Completed

    Right now I'm working on some other loads. I was spot on with my guess of 64 gr being max for the 250 lazer. I left the rounds in the car as I was setting up the other day. By the time it came time to start sending rounds downrange, I'd say the temps were 95 to 100. Extreme spread was now over...

    First Long Range Build Completed

    I had to bend the feed lips outward slightly to get the cartridges to ride up higher. Due to the wider cartridge, the magazine is far more comfortable holding 4 as opposed to trying to cram 5 in there. The magazine spring is stiff enough and recoil is very mild so the cases don't ride forward...

    Overall length for me if I remember correctly is 3.435. That puts me 15 thousandths off the lands in mine. I'll double check that when i get back home. No point in trying anything else as it easily outshoots me. The wyatts extended box mag goes out to 3.7 inches I believe so plenty of room for...

    I wasn't impressed with the 6.5 mth wound channel either. The fragments from them were tiny. Seems like 30 cal and up they do considerably better. I shot a deer a couple years ago with the 140 mth from my 300 blackout at 2300 fps and they seemed to do ok. Broke one shoulder going in and exited...

    First Long Range Build Completed

    Everyone told me that I probably wouldn't even see 338 win mag speeds but I knew from past experience with the 300 blackout that when you are not limited by coal requirements, these small cases with big bullets can be ramped up quite a bit. I can see why winchester abandoned the idea of a 338 on...

    First Long Range Build Completed

    Hello everyone. I just finished up putting together my first dedicated long range build. After careful consideration, I came up with a bunch of criteria that it would have to fit in. It would have to be powerful enough to hunt with out to a minimum of 1000 yards, fit in a standard Remington 700...
