[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1228939, member: 2736"] I can tell you Joel, it was great to see Zayne's face when he realized that the rifle was named after him. and also the first time he shot it. I think he was a little intimidated with the 378 loaded case but after he shot it the first time to get a POI, then we adjusted the scope and he hit dead center, the smile got even bigger. From then on he just kept putting one after the other in the same hole. (I don't think he worried about it any more). Some will wonder, Why the 378 case ? and a belted one at that. Anyone that has built a wildcat knows the problems with fire forming. None of these problems are present with the belted case. You simply load the case and fire it . The belt holds the case in place so there is no need for the donut or seating the bullet against the lands. this case went from an average case volume of 124 to 126 grains of powder to an average of 144 grains and takes advantage of the biggest 375 bullets without a special action. plus after the case is fire formed proper sizing eliminates the need for the belt. The one unbelievable thing is still how his dad kept him from finding out for almost a year. there was also a very tolerant shooter two tables down from us that was puzzled as to why his chronograph kept reading 1650 ft/sec occasionally,(His sky screens were set up 30 ft downrange and 20 or so feet to our left) until he realized that we were setting it off with the shock wave off this beast hitting the screens (We got a chuckle out of that and he even said he enjoyed seeing Zayne shoot it) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
