I had a barrel order with pacnor when they burned. I felt so bad for the family ( outstanding people by the way) that I just didn't bother to call about my measly barrel when they just lost their entire livelihood.
A month goes by and Kathy calls me to tell me that my barrel was one of five...
I will.
I got the cases and dies. My barrel will be a few weeks out.
Here's a sized case with a 140gr Hybrid Hunter.
I cant wait it shoot some of these cases so I sized and trimmed several pieces to 308 winchester and loaded with 155gr HPBT and Benchmark.
I have a 26" SS 10 twist 5R Savage Large shank barrel coming. Also a few hundred pc of Sig 277 Fury (6.8×51) Hybrids ( steel case head, brass body) .
I'm also have dies coming.
I can not find any data on this cartridge. I plan on shooting 140gr and 150gr bullets. I'm betting H4350 or H4831SC...
Decided to see how much drop my load has at 50 yards with a 25 yard zero. I predicted at least three inches, I was wrong.
This is a 5" dot. I don't know why this barrel is so accurate, it has way more recoil than my 9mm pistols!
All my life I wasn't interested in pistols because I didn't think...
There are no smokeless powders manufactured in the USA except winchester ball powder which is made by St Marks in Florida.
