30 Nosler finally came home from vacation.

[Buttermilk]

After some long weeks, months, even a few years, I've gotten this project completed finally.

Divorce derailed my plans for a bit (glad that's behind me), as did a few other things but it's finished now.

Specs:
(gunsmithing work done by Jon Beanland)
-Action trued
-Defiance bolt release
-Bolt face opened up
-Mini M16 extractor
-Bartlein heavy Palma contour bbl cut to 18.5"
-MBM 5 port Beast brake
-JGS reamer to my spec for the 30 Nosler
-Ken Farrel 20 MOA scope base
-Burris 3x-12x BP scope (will be replaced next day when I get some scope rings from work with a Leupold VX5 HD 3x-15x-44 Windplex reticle scope)
-Titanium cerakote
-Microslick coating on the bolt
-McMillan Alpine Ambush stock bedded by Jon Beanland

The two XP's that Jon Beanland has built for me. Excellent work.

7mm RSAUM he built for me in 2016 is a shooter. I expect the 30 Nosler to be a shooter too.

Hold on tight! That thing is cool!

Muzzle brake will more than handle any recoil it tries to dish out.

Looking Good!

Don't you know you need at least a 28 inch barrel for the 30 Nosler to work.

Just kidding sweet pistol.

 

[BAKPAKR]

Nice looking pistol. What is your freebore and what bullet do you plan to shoot?

Nice looking pistol. What is your freebore and what bullet do you plan to shoot?

Freebore is just under 0.170".
Primary bullet I plan to shoot is the Berger 210 VLDH.

Update:

Short & quick range trip. Forgot the tripod for the chrono and also forgot my cleaning rod for barrel break-in. So, I only shot enough to get scope dialed in,

I'll have to make at least one more range trip.

Nice sp

Looking good .

Update with latest range trip.

three shot group = 0.130" at 100 meters.

Berger 210 VLDH, H1000 = good combination.

Matrix 210 VLD shoots nearly the same.

RL26 gives a boost in velocity, need to work on the load with that one.

Have yet to hit pressure.

I'm quite pleased.

that thing is awesome.

Changed up some scope setups. Took a handguns scope off of my 7mm RSAUM. I removed the Leupold VX5HD 3x-15x-44 #171715 scope from the 30 Nosler and mounted it to the 7mm RSAUM.

I then mounted a new Leupold 3x-15x-56 #171390 scope to the 30 Nosler.

I got both sighted back in today.

The 30 Nosler is now humming the Berger 210 VLDH @ 2700 fps with H1000 and 2791 fps with RL26.

Of course the 7mm RSAUM is still doing its usual ~2800 fps with the Hornady 162 ELDX.
