New SP project teaser

[yorke-1]

I have a new project started and the parts are slowly starting to roll in. The action should be here in a few days and the stock showed up yesterday. It's a Joel Russo stock made out of bubinga wood.




The goal is to see how fast I can get a 300 gr OTM from a 20" barrel. I'll update the thread as parts come in.

Nice!

Cool. I've been thinking of a big 338 for an SP too.

I know how fast a 300 gr hybrid will come out of an 18" barrel...... Can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

[Ernie]

Ha!

Cool. I've been thinking of a big 338 for an SP too.

I've been playing with the 338/375 ruger in an 18" Striker for a couple years now and it's a ton of fun. That's setup more as a hunting gun though so the weight is down around 8# scoped with a bipod.

I wanted one setup specifically for shooting past 1500 yards. My 284 Striker does well out to about 1300 but really starts to struggle past that. I had a 300 RUM that did alright but just didn't offer much over the 284. For this one I figured that I'd just go so completely over the top that it had to offer some significant gains!

Here's the hint on the caliber, I'm using a BAT model CT action.....

Ha!

Okay...... Ernie knew it first.... gun)

Actually there is!



Now I'm just waiting on the barrel. I'm hoping to have this done by January. I have a companion rifle being built that should be done by the first week of December.

Preeeety!!!

 

[rickiesrevenge]

Still like to know what cartridge your building....

Here's your hint on the chambering. This is the parent case.
