[QUOTE="ELR Researcher, post: 1423859, member: 19541"] Recall way back when, OP post #1 - a 2 mile cartridge. Now, for apparent expedience (Ko2M thought to be the only game in town), folks are now hemming themselves into a 40# or lighter rifle. Baloney! URSA was envisioned and continues to be for shooters with "locally legal" cartridges. NO restriction on rifle/system weight, shooting position/support, or tech. But "we" (not me) now seem to feel that if it can't be proven at Ko2M it is not worth pursuing. Folks, as I have said, many, many times, Ko2M is Tactical ELR. 2 miles and way beyond do NOT need to be "tactical" unless "we" force ourselves into thinking that way. Me, I've got two .50/20 designs in build. One of those designs shot 800 grain bullets well over 4000 fps from a 45" barrel (former reamer owner). [Run those numbers.] While I certainly understand the "event" focus (Ko2M), please don't let that detract from the topic at hand, hitting reasonably small targets (URSA is 37" round and does not get any bigger with distance) at distances absolutely as far out as possible, period. Go further, go further, go further... My current problem is that I'm stymied by my current smith. While I have found another "smith", that smith is much less qualified - a pressure barrel manufacturer. I need a very well equipped and qualified smith that can deal with 2.5" straight cylinder barrels, 45" long. I have 4 barrels that are "go forward" barrels and one that is to be cut in half and chambered to finish system development (yielding 2 barrels, one for each cartridges, each at 2.5 x 20-22"). If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd very much appreciate them e-mailing me ASAP at [email]webmaster@elr-resources.com[/email]. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
