[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 143160, member: 2736"] Over a year ago I started this project and promised to report back with the results.Due to long delivery of the barrel and the holidays I lost about 4 months, but have finished the rifle and started testing loads. With a water capacity in grains of 126.5 (24 grs more than the 416 REM and 8.4 less than the 416 WEATHERBY) loading is straight forward and shows promise. Dave Manson cut me a great chamber reamer and Hornady made a fine set of dies that sized 200 rounds of brass with no losses (may be a first for me). Below are some pictures .

I know that this is not considered a long range rifle but with over 6000ftlbs at the muzzle and a trajectory as flat as a 270 win it does have possibilities. Recoil is in the mid 50s and very manageable. Should be a real Stopper. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
