Yes it is !

Whidden Gunworks have my hydraulic case forming die and reloading dies done and shipped, have a batch of the Alco 208 gr RBT steel tipped bullets and RL33, RL26, IMR 7977 on hand, black bear bait station set last Saturday, gonna see how it all happens at 42 yards, not waiting on the 195 Bergers anymore , got more 208's and 195 gr Alco RBT ST bullets coming,

I hear that the Bergers are coming this July ............ a handful of guys have been testing them the past year so they do exist !!

Patience fellas , can be a bitch but when she comes down the stairs all dressed up it is all well worth the wait !

Seems like the year of the 7mm.... Lots of great designs this year! Oh and some sweet 8mm toogun)

9 twist barrels and 180-195 gr 7mm bullets are boring ! hahaha

Going to 7 twist barrels, 208 and 226 gr 7mm bullets ..... is where all the cool fun is !

Swamp lord,
Interesting bullet. You makes it?

 

[esshup]

I'm guessing the expansion on the ST is a bit limited?

You're having way too much fun!

 

[kennyg]

wow the bearing surface on that 226 grain bullet looks ridiculously long. What are you shooting it out of and what kind of velocity are you getting?

 

[Swamplord]

Will be shootin them from the 7mm ATF !
(7mm Alaskan Thunder Fart)
Naww , just kidding ! lol


These are expiremental bullets with a calculestimated bc around .98 - 1.0 ........ verification of bc will commence shortly, Kirby will be getting some to test in the 7mm AM , and I will be shooting them with my 7mm LRH 8 twist bbl with a 7 twist Bartlein in the works ...
yes, the bearing surface is very long but we gotta start somewhere , further improvements will incorporate a shorter bs (bearing surface, ha !)
