Been working with bullet company and barrel maker for 2 years on this project.
It’s a wildcat caliber.
Best description would be a 17Rem AI.
27” X-Caliber barrel 1:9TR
Bullet 18gr, Dead Blow Hammer.
Still finalizing load development will settle right around 5025FPS.
PDog hunt in May. Hog’s and Coyotes in between time.
MDWS Barrel maker is building himself one now at 28” in a bolt gun to claim the 5000 FPS title. 🤣

I was expecting the infamous 224/378, but this looks much cooler.

When did Dewalt start making rifles? Lol

Seriously though, that is impressive velocity!

How does an 18g bullet hold up to that speed?

What are the ballistics with a tiny bullet like that when zeroed at 200 yards?


High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

good ?, I would think that it would disintegrate, at that speed, a pencil lead size twig would


hold on Newt, we got a runaway

That’s why you work with the bullet company before attempting 5K velocities! Solid copper monolithic does not shed like CC bullets.

5K+ Congrats that is quite a feat. Wonder what the barrel life will be? Mono bullet would be the only way to go.

THat is fast my 17 Remington runs the factory 25gr at 4250, i have loaded 20gr to 4600 and not sure what the 15gr ran, onlyshot it once and that one went in a puff as it came apart with a nice vapor trail.


I did a quick google on the eargesplitzen loudenboomer that was a 378 weatherby necked down to .224 and running a 50gr bullet built by Ackley and he said in one of his books with what he considered a mile load got 4600fps. That was in the 60's. Hutton a d Charmicael had him build it. These days google says that was the top speed but I would take Aclkey's word he expected them to get a lot higher than his load. What they reached them and NASA know. It was a project for NASA.

No doubt it is FAST!!!!!

So at 5,000 fps you are looking at 3,409 mph or, mach 4.4

Still got a ways to go to catch up to the X-15 though!

Barrel life is a really good question. Got chamber specs and will watch it for burn out. Accuracy will also reveal a lot.

I would not even have attempted this project without Hammer Bullets Thumbs up on velocity.

At the muzzle yes. But velocity will drop off rapidly with that light a bullet and the sectional density.

Hear me out

1. Nothing yellow, ever
2. Barrel life?
3. I don't really care about barrel life if I go 5K fps and accurate

I like options, options are good

All kidding aside, that is an awesome looking rifle, and 5000fps is crazy.

1. It’s called a Stinger. So I used Bee Colors. 🐝
2. I ca count in one hand how many people are shooting this build. Will let you know when it happens.
3. Barrels are consumable!!!

At those speeds I'd expect the bullet to explode upon impact making it useless on hogs but you said it's something custom, any swine shot with it yet?
Hoping for a report after the P-dog hunt. Mostly curious about wind.
