Hey guys,

This is the latest addition to the collection. Always wanted a big boomer and now I think I have one. LOL. My friend Bill from Idaho Custom Rifles put this together for me. He did an awesome job.

This looks like it is going to be a tack driver. Looking for your favorite load advice. I will be shooting the 300 gn. Berger.

Wonder who did the fluting. LOL.

Regards, Paul

Sharp looking rig .... Don't you guys have a weight limit for hunting rifles in Idaho?

Sendero,

Yes we do. I am in the process of moving to Haines, Oregon so I can shoot this rifle during hunting season. LOL.

Bob,

The dies are coming from Whidden. He makes awesome dies for the cost. About 8 weeks with a couple of fired cases.

Regards, Paul
 
What powder are you going to use? I have the .338 Norma Improved as well and I'm running Retumbo. I can share some data if you would like to PM me. Mine is a 22" barrel so very short for that round. It's an awesome round! What is your COL?
 
I was planning to shoot the 300 Berger with H1000 to start with and go from there. Damn why didn't I think to go with the 17HMR. LOL. I have a feeling that our ideas are a little different as to what constitutes long range coyote hunting.

Regards,

Paul
