Derrick definitely puts some "soul" into his rifles

I would love one of his rifles, just a little pricey for me.They are "hot" though !!!

That is some awesome fluting.
Much like cars, I normally like simple color schemes. Dang that looks nice too.

Well, that's just cool.

I shot a carbon fiber .300 WSM yesterday. I reckon, I'm gonna need me one of those barrels. wink

Played around with the 300WSM last weekend but really just finding about where needed to be powder charge wise with H 4350 and 175-185 gr bullets.
One of the two bullets that I planned to try came in yesterday so I loaded ladder and since I kinda knew where I thought I needed to be I loaded a few extra of those just to foul the barrel and maybe shoot a little further out.
That part worked out and had 3 rounds to shoot an actual group at the end. Shot the steel at 654 yards

.300 WSM, GREAT round, kinda forgotten in all the "Creedmoor mania" Berger Elite Hunters, IMO, their most accurate bullet.

Thanks David

Nice David! I run the 180 grain Elite Hunters in my 308 Win, and they are an awesome bullet!

Had to run back to range today. I had cleaned the barrel and loaded that same load so shot a fouler then 3 shot group at 100. Pretty happy so again threw my last 2 loaded rounds at the steel at 654. Wind was brisk left to right so held left edge. I am thinking this will kill an elk.

I'd say so especially with you behind the trigger.

Pictured below is the other bullet I mentioned I wanted to try in the 300 WSM.
It’s the Federal Edge TLR 175 gr.
I seated 5 at .010 off the lands and took it to the range to Chrono. Fired 3 at 100 first two cut same hole third was little low but I had forgotten to tighten front rest after making adjustments and it could have easily moved under recoil. Noticed that as I moved the front rest to try the last two at 654yds
Picture below of those two.... I think these bullets have potential. I couldn’t get Federal’s website to work at the range so I guessed on the BC. Lucky guess. cool

I wish all the WSM’s, and even some WSSM’s had anywhere close to the same popularity as the CM’s.
In fact, I’m so sick of reading Creedmoor, it ain’t funny. I miss my little 243wssm I had. Fun little booger
