I love the trace, the angle that goes up, almost looks like a 203 round going out. What was the drop at 1450?

The vertical on your load is pretty good.Go out on a calm morning at the same distance and see how many times you can hit the steel.Great looking rifle.

Re: New 300 Rum Build W/Video
I think its a better idea to get a bigger chunk of steel for that range. I cant even get him to buy one tho. I bought that one for 5-800 and he wants to put it at 1500? I was trying to explain to him that is like shooting a .75 in group with all the atmospheric conditions of 1500 yards. He likes the new gun and had more faith then I did.
The winds at that place are not that "BAD" per say. Just switchy and most of the time they are going three different directions. It helps if you get there before noon too! He had steelhead to catch tho? Some peoples kids! Oh well. I only got to steer her for 7 rounds and I managed to get two on the steel after one correction. Then I played TRY and guess what the wind is going to do next.

PS.....
Soon I will have frankenstein done and we will be lobbing som 178grn Cauterucios at it.

How consistent is the load as far as ES and SD?
Your exact combo is interesting the hell out of me.

Re: New 300 Rum Build W/Video
Depends on the barrel and the way you treat it. Usually get about 1000-1500 before she opens up too bad.

That's not too bad, the round count on my rifle is 560 I will probably have to replace it around 2k (.300wm).. we'll see

ok, i have watched the video a few times now, so the rate of fire in your opinion was not to fast from a heat perspective? i kinda thought things would be getting warm there. maybe i am babying my rifle to much.

No you are right. I think he shoots too fast and too long of strings. But he doesnt listen to me!

I was just talking to a friend of mine and I have to slow things down too if I want to extend barrel life. I don't usually let the barrel cool down a whole lot in between strings of fire. I need to work on that...

Was the video through a spotter or just a zoomed camera? What magnification did the camera go up to?

Oh dont get your panties in a wad! You dont need to listen to me anyways. You have a free gunsmith to put more barrels on whenever you burn em up! I was just saying that if someone wanted to get 1500 rounds out of a barrel they better not shoot like that.

Re: New 300 Rum Build W/Video
I did alot of searching about long range guns built in
Oregon and this one caught my eye on youtube,so should I go 300 or 338 just want it big and bad so weight and size not a factor,and just how fast do you think a 208-210 can be pushed in a set up like this one?
