Before Weatherby released this cartridge I built a rifle in a variation of this cartridge using a a Proof Research .338 Sendero CF in 1:9.4". I used a 6.5RPM reamer and then cut a custom neck and throat. I throated it to set a 250gr Berger Elite Hunter with the major diameter just forward of the...

Hydehunter, I use 6.5Staball in my wife's 6.5x284Norma to push the 123 Absolute Hunter Hammer bullets to 3260fps without pressure signs in her rifle, thought the same load was not happy in another rifle. I'd recommend starting in the upper 40s and work your way up carefully. Be sensible about...

338 Sherman for barrel life and energy on target too. It's an efficient cartridge that's extremely versatile and doesn't require a long barrel to yield great peformance.

Ryan, Your design and the simplicity of it are a testament of a well thought out system that I'm greatly impressed with and must say envious of. You should consider marketing that! 👍

1055yds on marmot with 22-250AI using 80gr ELD-M @3440fps.

I've been selling and installing only the Triggertech triggers for 2 years now and up until last week hadn't had any issues. Just finished a customers 300PRC built on a Rem700 action using a Proof S/L 24" barrel. Upon installation of the requested Triggertech Special trigger it was found that it...

Yes, I used a small fine file. Put a safe edge on it myself at the edge sander. I started having primary extraction issues after replacing the bolt body with a PTG fluted body. Measured the differences in the two, then used the safe edge file to make the body match the originals units...

I too had this issue and addressed it by shortening the bolt body using a multi axial, variable speed portable mill (file);). It worked well.

Purchased a new Grizzly G0709 with DRO last year as a second lathe. I've had no problems with the lathe at all and is very accurate and repeatable, but if I were ordering a new lathe today it would be a Mathews Precision with VS and DRO. What you want and what you need aren't always the same!

jbo829, I installed a 3 port minimag muscle brake in 1/2"x28 on the exact same rifle for a customer's wife, she loves it. I too am all about the Sherman Wildcats though and would encourage you to take that path. Happy shooting!

Birdiemc, I too thread just has Joe instructs in his video. I use this method for both external and internal threads. When cutting threads on a barrel tenon I use my compound to make a plunge in initially to my targeted pitch diameter. Pitch diameter can be verified using just 2 wires as you're...

Tbaxl, I'm sorry you're catching so much flack for wanting to learn what most smiths apparently hold as sacred knowledge! If you go to Youtube and find Bob Pastor's channel, it's https://www.youtube.com/user/TheViper6506/videos He has some very helpful videos that are targeted towards the home...

Personally I place my trust, hope and money in Jesus, not some organization of man that is susceptible to corruption and relies upon money as a basis of hope! I do agree that GOA is much better aligned with my cause.

That's good to know Tidus, I thought for a moment there I was experiencing some early onset dementia! :eek:
