[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 364572, member: 2261"] Just a short post to keep thing updated. I talked briefly with Cory T. and if his rifle is finished on time he is definitely in for our test. With this excellent news, this is what it looks like so far. If a bullet has no details as far as weights, then WE HAVE NONE TO TEST and NO SHOOTER FOR THEM. 30 Cal: - standard bearer 200-220 gr Berger, Hornady, Sierra ZA 175 or 240 gr HAT 210 gr Predator 176 gr 338 -standard bearer 300 gr Lapua ZA 6.0 caliber - 300 gr (6.5 or 7.0 caliber weight undetermined ) HAT - 265 gr Predator 235 gr GS Custom 295gr & 232 grain Hooker weights undetermined (hopefully medium and heavy) Lehigh weights undetermined (hopefully medium and heavy) 375 - standard bearer 350 grain Sierra Predator 350 gr ZA weights undetermined (6.0 or 6.5 caliber in length) HAT weights undetermined (hopefully medium and heavy) GS Custom - weights undetermined Hooker - weights undetermined (hopefully medium and heavy) Rocky Mountain - weights undetermined (hopefully medium and heavy) Lehigh - weights undetermined (hopefully medium and heavy) LUTZ - several different bullets of different weights, including Viking, and they will be loaded using Lutz's published suggested load data. These will be shot only at short range, as we have too few to bullets to both gather data and do testing at long range. 50 Cal - standard bearer...Lapua N or Hornady AMAX ZA weights undetermined (5.5 and 6.0 calibers - 931 gr) SHOOTERS Dave Viers has volunteered to shoot 30 Cal standard bearer (his choice of Berger, Hornady, Sierra 200-220 grain bullets) and 210 gr HAT bullets; also shooting 375 cal. standard bearer (Sierra 350 grain), 350 gr.Predator solids, 370 gr. Montana jacketed alum tipped, ZA 6.0 or 6.5 caliber length. Steve Damron is going to shoot 30 cal predator solids 176 gr; 338 Predator solid 235 gr If my 338 L.M. Improved is finished in time, I will be shooting a GS Custom 295 gr solid, GS Custom 232 gr solid, and a ZA 6.5 and potentially 7 caliber Solids. Eddybo has volunteered to shoot 338 HAT 265 grains Cory Trapp is most likely (assuming his rifle is completed on time) going to shoot the 30 cal. 5.8 caliber ZA solid, as well as the 338 standard bearer (300 grain Lapua), ZA 338 6.0 Caliber (300 grain), possibly GS Custom 338. Dave Viers has kindly offered to bring his ATV (700 polaris) to haul gear and humans to top of firing point. [/QUOTE]
