Well, its been a good couple weeks in the shop, got alot of rifles shipped and several more getting close. Been a while since I posted some porn on here so her goes.
This is one of my Xtreme Heavy Sporters in 338 Allen Magnum. The customer wanted a bullet capable of hunting elk at ranges as close as 500 yards so we went with the new Barnes 265 gr TTSX bullet. I was doing some ballistic testing with it here along with accuracy testing. Accuracy wise, loaded to 3550 fps, it would hold groups right there with the 300 gr SMK and 300 gr Berger Gen 2s. Ballistically, not as impressive but still pretty good with an estimated BC in the .620 range. Terminally, for close range impacts it should be pretty impressive at these velocities. 600 yard impact testing showed it would hold together well but often lost one or two petals. At 1000 yards, perfect X mushrooms. 1520 yards, again, full X mushrooms. Not as ballistically potent as the match bullets but out to 1000 yards, with its added velocity potential, it does extremely well and I would not think twice about centering a big bull elks shoulder at 300-400 yards even out of my 338 Allen Magnum.
Kind of a neat little lightweight rifle. This is the first 240 Wby I have built. Based on a Stiller receiver and light #2 Lilja contour barrel. This rifle shot extremely well, in fact, it shot right at 3/4 moa with the 95 gr Ballistic tip at 900 yards!!!! Thats WAY past what I would normally test this class of rifle out at but it was a very calm day and I was already set up so figured what the hell, the little wby did not disappoint. I would like to add that this reamer is my own specs made up with a shorter accuracy throat.
This is one of my Xtreme Sporters based on a Borden Alpine Magnum receiver chambered in 300 WSM. This rifle was a pleasure to test, no recoil at all, literally NO RECOIL with the PK muzzle brake. Smacking an clay pigeon size target at 1000 yards would become boring with this little rifle. I do like those little WSMs, especially the 7mm and 300. Nice compact, comfortable, mid weight rig.
Here is another Xtreme Sporter, this one in 338 Lapua with a BAT receiver and the new CIP length Badger Ord DM system. Very compact, light rifle that is easy to shoot with ALOT of power. I would prefer a bit shorter mag box length but for a real world elk hunting rifle this would be hard to beat.
