280 Sherman build complete!

[jpfrog]

Well, this build is finished! Now the hard work begins- fire form brass, load dev, etc. Too bad it won't be below 100 outside anytime soon.

Stiller Predator
Proof 8 twist
Manners EH3
Trigger Tech Special
Murphy Titanium rail
Vortex Precision matched rings
VX6HD
Magpul DBM

Plan to use the Hammer Hunters...when it cools off

Weight is at 8lbs 13oz scoped. Should be much easier to carry than that 15lb 300winmag setup I was planning to use for elk!

Hammer Hunters- 143gr to start. Not sure on powder yet but have a couple in mind

Wow. That's really pretty. Nice!

Looks like a nice rifle. Should be good elk medicine as well.

 

[Hatrick]

Nice rifle and you can cook that elk on a great looking range!
Wolf is the best!

That range is the best thing I've put in this house. I cook everything on or in it!

Try the 177's. Should be able to push them faster than cup n core bullets for an awesome elk killer
