[QUOTE="tbeckstead11, post: 1314253, member: 96338"] I'm JACKED about trying this new SST out! I have 100 cases loaded up, ready to fire form, but the rifle didn't come in the mail today like I was hoping, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. I'll keep this thread updated on the load development and all the particulars as we go along. I used 49 grains of H4350 for the fireforming. Plenty of capacity left in the case. I'm going to use the new Nosler RDF 140gr bullets. Everyone that I know using them says the published .330 BC is accurate, so that pretty hard to beat. As for Magazine Capacity, I ordered a +2 extension from AxisWorks LLC so I should be good to go. I'll let you know for sure when they get here. Later tonight I'll load up my 10 round AICS and let you know how many will fit in there. The rifle is a PTG blueprinted R700 stainless Short action, Bartlein MTU countour 26" barrel, JP enterprise Recoil Eliminator Brake. It'll be in an XLR Evolution Chassis in a couple weeks, but for now it will have to go in my B&C I've been runnning for the last year and a half or so. Thanks for the opportunity to break this new SST in Rich! I'm really looking forward to it. If all goes well, I'll burn out a barrel in the next several months so we have a real good idea how long it will go. [/QUOTE]
