Short barreled magnum for supressor use.

[JuddL]

Currently in the stand with mine, 16" 6.5 saum running 130 vld at 3000fps. It's a beast!

I also have a 22" 30 Nosler pushing 215's at 2900. There is a node higher but it shot so well I left it alone. I suspect it will speed up with more rounds on it.

7 prc?

yes

Anybody shooting a .338 WM with a 20 inch barrel? Suppressed?

Nope but will transition mine over to that once the barrel is shot out or maybe go with the .338 WBY RPM in their Mark V backcountry, 18 " barrel which I wish I saw earlier. Ballistics of the Weatherby are very similar to the 338 win mag, but the weight was the big issue for me, 5.4 lbs.

300wsm 20" Shilen barrel
Savage UL
NF NX8 2.5-20x50
Manners EH4 w/ chassis
208eldM @ 2750fps
(Run with omega 300 suppressor)
It's dumped a Gold medal Sambar bull at 308yds and a dozen WT deer at various ranges under 1000yds


**Grouse, anything look familiar?

I see the barrel nut is that a savage action?

How do the 230 eldx perform?

extremely well .. ended up killing a bull at 407 yards with it .. on the offside hide 118 gr of retention perfect mushroom

Cajun,
Yes, my 300wsm is a Savage Ultralight action that started as a .243

That's a Shilen barrel & barrel nut

Here's mine.

18 inch Proof CF 300WM

I got invited to shoot steel plates up to 1200 yards this Friday and Saturday. For laughs and giggles, I decided to unscrew the 26 inch fluted barrel and swap it with the 18 inch 10T Proof CF, and run it suppressed with AAC Titan QD. In retrospect I should have opted for a 9T or 8T so I can run...

What did you DO to that poor TBAC?

What did you DO to that poor TBAC?

Tape over muzzle, no crap inside you're barrel.

I just ordered my younger sons first rifle. Sauer 100 in 6.5PRC with 22" barrel. I am seriously considering cutting it down to 18-20" because this rifle will basically always be suppressed for him.

I have to get the rifle threaded, is it worth I to have it cut down and then threaded?
