300 RUM Build

[Mr6.5]

I originally built this with a to light for caliber barrel and it was problematic. I re-barreled with a M24 taper Faxon barrel.

Out at the range today, the rifle is shooting the federal fusion tipped 180gr over 91.5gr of N570 into a single hole, 7 shot group all can covered with a dime. Seems this one is good to go now. Very low recoil, like shooting a 22 250.

My data shows 91.5gr (Max safe load) of N570 is around 64k pressure but I see NO SIGNS, running a 180gr pill at 3300fps should be serious medicine for the dear this year

Well, the accuracy potential is there! Good job. And, yes, that is some serious medicine.

Looks good right off the bat , very promising load for sure.

 

[NYDAN]

Wow. I would hang that target on the wall!

 

[JD338]

Outstanding! Looks like anything in NA will be in deep dark trouble with that load.

Great Shooting!
How many rounds down the tube now?

Well, I zeroed it and then shot that group so about 10 rounds now. These magnums heat up so quickly you have to let it cool and do not get to shoot a ton at the range. The M24 taper super heavy barrel helps, I shot the 7 round string back to back with no flyers but it was hot after!
