In the Micro Actions like a Vixen or Howa, you won’t have enough tennon and receiver thickness for full pressure WSSM. We’ve already looked at that.

Hoop strength isn’t there. I would also wonder about lug strength. Those micro actions are meant for .222, 6mm PPC, Grendel, stuff like that.

They’re just not built for fatter, higher-pressure cartridges. Howa was able to do it in .450 Bushmaster because the SAAMI MAP is 38,500psi, nowhere near 65,000psi of the WSSM.

A good buddy of mine really likes wild-catting the WSSMs, mainly to 7mm. He used a R700 size short action with custom feed lips and magazine work. Spits out 180-195gr with extremely tight ES and SD, yielding sub-MOA groups at ~1 mile even on 20” gong. First time he grouped it at 1710yds, he put 7x 195gr EOLs into 14 1/8” CTC, 5.0fps SD.

My favorite of the factory WSSMs is the .257 cal of course. Smokes the others easily. Load it with the new VLD class of 131-135gr .257” bullets and you’ve got something. It also has a 30˚ shoulder, not a 28˚ like the .243 WSSM. I always wondered how it would do with a 40˚ shoulder and some other bores like 6.5mm and .277”. We already know what it does with 7mm.

Y’all come on and play. I don’t care if you like football or not, it’s not about that. It’s about strategy. Can you make it deep into the season? Will an upset take you out early? TBH, I’m not a huge football fan, but I like playing this game. So far, I’ve won this thing both times I’ve played it, so come knock me off my throne. I double dog dare ya!

Oh contraire my friend.
Vaccines ARE tested. They are tested accross vast groups of lab animals, by the hundreds of millions. These are free range lab animals even. No cage required. A bell is rung and these lab monkeys line up for free shots. The pavlovian response is just....amazzzin!

Remember when they gave you free fries or a free donut for getting vaxxed?

Free fries… to have the modern day equivalent of Joseph Mengele stick an untested RNA-modifying Franken-potion in you.

And you did it for a fucking industrial-grade Dunkin Donuts cruller or some crappy McDonald’s freedom fries?

This is why they deserve to die!!!

Because it was a stupid test and 75 percent of Americans failed!!!

No. Refunds.

My wife's cousin and his wife just split up a couple months ago. They have just found out one of their three daughters has cancer. She is in the hospital now with a tumor in her lung. The prognosis is very bad, I don't remebr the specfic bone cancer she has, but the survival rate is very low. They are doing more tests to see if it's spread, which it likley has if she has a tumor in her lung. They are saying like 25% chance she makes its 5 more years. She is 20. This poor family is going through a lot.

I grew up with my wife's cousin and his wife. I don't really know their kids. I just pray they know Jesus and this pain and suffering is just a step in the road to heaven.

Further diagnosis has brought better news. She actually has Hotchikins Lynphoma. While still bad news with a long road in front of her. It's much better than what we were originally told.

I am tempted to do this almost daily, but I think I picture fertilizing in a different manner than they do.

I don't think I have ever seen a 700P with a jeweled bolt.

I would defer to @45-90 on that. I seem to remember something he recommended about drilling ports where you limit the amount of material burrs in the bore, but I could be misremembering.

Some use a wooden dowel in the bore and a limiter set on a drill press, so you don’t over-drill.

Lots of cutting fluid to help reduce chatter. There was some kind of technique for keeping the cut clean so you don’t introduce crap into the bore from the edges of the port.

When you install your gas block and tube, they should be super-tight with no place for gas to leak.

I bed or press-fit gas blocks, and bed tubes into the back of the block to fight that leakage problem.

Thanks for the feedback, everything you said makes sense.

Do you happen to know of best practices for drilling out a gas port? I can put a cheap cleaning rod in the barrel to protect the bore from the drill bit but since I don’t have a drill press id have to just mount the upper in a vice and do it slowly by hand using the existing hole as a pilot

It will only be a $400 mistake if you screw it up. lol

Or a small diameter dot drill. If I can consistently hit the dot, I’m ok with that bullet performance.

Seems to be acceptable in a lot of 22 paper target matches

I think that is a masterpiece of a hunting idea, especially from different positions.

But yeah, my last one shot group was in the zeroes... just sayin'.
