found some 500 gr partitions........... HOLY CRAP!!!!

 

[JD338]

Chet,

Awesome project. You have done a great job building this rifle and documenting it with the story and pictures.
You have to run one of those 500 gr PT's through the water jugs. You are going to need 12 plus a backer board to catch one before it penetrates into tomorrow. :mrgreen:

Well done buddy!

[SJB358]

Yeah, I am with JD. That has been an awesome build Chet and those 500 grain Nosler's are just too cool!

 

[pre6422hornet]

Yep, very neat. That is one, though, that I'll be more than content to let somebody else have a crack at... Good work!
