30 sherman magnum

[Sevy]

I have been following this for a while waiting for my win mag barrel to start shooting bad. It wont. But she doesn't have to know that. This will be my next rifle. Very impressive results elkaholic. Have you necked this down to 7mm yet? 7mm Shermagnum?

Thank you! No, I haven't but I've been asked to neck it down and up. Probably down the road but too much going on right now

Just heard there was N570 in stock at Midsouth. There may be more outlets that have some too. Better grab some guys!!

Thought you guys might be happy to hear that my 30 SM dies are ready to ship to me. This means I will likely get them headed your way by late next week

I'm actually thinking about building a 19" barreled specialty pistol to try shooting in some of the ELR matches. Some of the matches have rules which require the gun be shoulder fired though which kicks out the SP shooters.

I think I could squeeze about 2850 fps with a 200-215gr bullet from the 19" barrel which should be right in the sweet spot for those bullets.

That would be interesting to see

Hey rich what ballistic program are you using for the 225s again? Are you using the new design of 225s or the original and what bc are you puting in?

I have a feeling the updated version is a bit different than the old bc wise.
