Yo-ho-ho and five barrels of RUM.

[natesatt]

I bet that 6mmRUM eats barrels for 3 square meals a day! Ought to be a speed demon!

I am aiming for 4500 fps + with those 105gr Amax's, should be a Blast.

Dean

[natesatt]

Ya..start saving for new barrel now...just in case you end up liking it. It'll be fun seeing how it works for you.

[scope eye]

The Barrel is 30" long and is profiled so I can do at least 5 or 6 set backs so no worries there, it burns Retumbo so I figure I will get 500 quality shots, and then have it rethroated that is what winter is for.

6mm RUM looks NASTY.

[BarrelNuts]

.257 and 6.5.... Oh how beautiful they are. What kind of velocities do you think you'll get from those?

[scope eye]

I have had them all for a while just the 6mm and 7mm are new, I already had a 7mm 10 twist this ones a 12T, I sent them all back over the winter to change a couple of things, one was the neck Dia I don't want to turn necks, one was a deeper throat for longer bullets, and a couple other things crowns ect, I just got them all back at the same time and almost lost it when I opened them up, I have not really found there max FPS yet but the 25 cal will send 87gr Noslers at over 4600 fps, the 6.5 I have had 140gr Sierras over 4000 and 107gr Sierras over 4400, and the 270 I have had 130s and 140s well over 4000 fps, I am going to turn up the Boost and flatten some primers until they cry uncle , I have reached case capacity on most of them, so I am going to have to go to faster powders, giggity giggity

We wouldn't expect anything else from you Dean.

To borrow a phrase from Space Balls... "Ludicrous speed!"

[scope eye]

I have only loaded a handful of these, but what you are looking at is a 55gr Nosler with 110 gr of powder, stuffed up where the sun don't shine, 2 to 1 powder to bullet ratio, Issac Newton would be proud.LOL

Dean

PS: I need to get out more.

[BarrelNuts]

I now understand your tag line...

[scope eye]

Why couldn't I feel this way about 223s, life is so unfair.LOL

Dean

[DrThunder88]

A .223 RUM? Now that's just crazy talk!

Seriously though, would you build one?

The thought did cross my mind, but my 22-06AI with its 65gr of powder is unfortunately all you can stuff down a 22 caliber barrel.

[BarrelNuts]

Yes, Chrony photos are definitely in order... I'd LOVE to see what that 6 or the .25 would do to a yote at 4k+ FPS!
