Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic
Muzzle energy is 38-40,000 ft lbs. at the muzzle.,,
So, what's the muzzle energy at 1000 yds?
LOL

Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic
I won't troll with the rest about your estimated accuracy claims but I can say for damn certain that whatever that hits (man, tree, house, boat, hell -houseboat) is gonna have one big-ass hole in it at ANY range. To hell with how accurate it ends up being (that's a project for another day), the bragging rights you'll own for the rest of your life will be without measure. Bet the smile on your face the first time you shoot it will be worth ever minute. So yeah, after 4 hours of reading this entire thread (no shit I read every painful word) I want to see it finished so YOU, my brother, get to sit back in your chair, look around to the shocked faces around you, and think to yourself... <span style="font-weight: bold">YES MOTHERFUCKERS, I AM THE MAN!! </span> I hope somebody has a camera not pointed at the gun but your face for the next 30 seconds after it goes off.

Absolutely right on! Screwed the nay sayers. Anyone and all of the guys in history got laughed at when they when they attempted or stated the impossible (Columbus, Edison, Einstein) , but they definately had the last laugh! More power to you brother. I wish you success.

Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic
Jon, you have to send me some pics of the shot show when you get home! and def. pics of that can!! I have never even heard of one that large, and I will not ever ask how much you have wrapped in any component let alone the whole deal but how much are you going to charge for "admission" to check it out when it's done?? LOL

Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic
Just tried putting the brake on the barrel. Looks like it's about a 1/4" off as far as diameter. My muzzle threads are 1.5"x14 1.5" long. Brake is 1.25. So.....back to Montana it goes! 17-4ph steel is going to be tough to machine, but Dale says it's no problem. More soon. Still recovering from Vegas...

Thanks for keeping up posted. This is the best build I have seen in years.

Looking forward to see the suppressor for this thing, let alone the entire build!
Good work saojao, I love seeing builds such as this!

Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic
Doubled that thing is no where near what Jon is doing. The ballistics on that fat heavy jdj at their velocities makes it a small cannon, no doubt. But the exterior ballistics just aren't there. Jon's 14.5 ops is going to be something to truly admire if the accuracy is there. I shutter to think what the terminal effects would be on anything, even at an insane range.

Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic
yup, I'm burning 690gr.-758gr. of powder, and using a ignition system inside my case.(1,690gr projo or 1,020gr.projo) I think JD is based on a 50 cal case. Need to clear some things up though...the actual bore diameter on my rifle is .577 groove diameter is .587. So in reality my cartridge is a 14.9mm! Not really a big deal, but I thought I should clear that up. I have switched to calling it a 14.9mm because a lot of the people making components for the rifle were geting confused. So from now on, its a 14.9mm lol!
A little on the cartridge...COAL is 6.5-7.25" depending on projo. Velocity for the NEW case design is speculated (General Dynamics) around 3,350fps-3,600 fps. Keep in mind these are not written in stone! I have a 1020 projo which should hit 4,000 fps + Keep in mind these are guesses from General Dynamics. Gas pressure @ the muzzle will be in the ball park of 16,000 - 22,000 PSI. Muzzle energy is 42,000 - 45,000 ft lbs. Recoil is 218 ft lbs of free recoil, Recoil velocity estimate 21 fps.
I literally have just about every powder made, and some that people don't know were made! I should be headed up to PA. In the next few weeks as soon as Dale gets the muzzle brake back to me. I will get this thing put together, and load testing will start! Bowstryder, I'm sure you will be able to hear me from Grottoes! Everyone PLEASE remember these are all guesses based on General Dynamics speculations, based on info from my last case design! PS...I'm horrible @ designing rifles, I like to stick with internal Ballistics and case design, so don't expect a bad ass test rifle lol! Thanks for all the help! -Jon
