That's cool ! I'd like to shoot that.
What are the external ballistics? I haven't shot it past 100 yards yet so I'm not sure. It will definitely knock down anything you hit with it though. I plan to do a little pig hunting just for fun when it cools off. I have loaded a few API rounds just for fun also. It makes a nice big flash on impact... 100 yards 1347 ft/lbs. 200 yards 1269 ft/lbs. -4.9 Mils 300 yards 1201 ft/lbs -10.1 Mils Still pretty stout even at 300 yards!

Thanks, Jason. This is the rifle I want to use in your training class. I have all the parts except for the finished barreled action. I will let you know when I get it and get a load worked up.

I'm ready when you are. That rifle will have zero trouble on the range. You'll leave thinking a 3-400 yard hunting shot is no biggie.

Yes, RHutch has won this thread.
I need to contribute more rifles.
He'll still have me beat, though.

I sold that 223. Was a pig. Was one of my first forays into what I thought I needed in a rifle. I will never go heavier than a Rem Varmint contour and in reality, probably stick with a Brux 5. I got tired of heavy rifles with truck axle barrels. My 260 is my favorite all-round pattern in weight, length and balance, but it is not my favorite rifle. The tan 300 is almost perfection and is the pattern my next will be built off off. Similar to BIL's rifle in post #2.

Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.
