A Varmints Worst Nightmare

A Picture is worth a thousand rounds, "that's a play on they old saying" if this doesn't get the job done nothing will, 110gr Vmax's @ God only knows, I get 4400 FPS out of my 300 WinMag 30" 12 twist with 85gr of RL17 with the 110s, now add 20gr more powder for 105gr total and the slower twist rate, like I said I wont guess I will let the numbers out when I get them, although I am open to educated guesses, it is a Bartlein so it is my first cut rifle barrel I have ever owned, it is also a 30" with the taper starting way down, I would like to thank Jim at Apache gun works for his flawless workmanship as usual, that and putting up with my unconventional requests, that even he shakes his head at, Hey Jim I got to keep you on your toes and I would not want you to get bored,LOL Needless to say this is obviously a priority for me and will have the results soon.

Your eyes are not deceiving you it does say 300 RUM 17 Twist.

That's a 308 beside the 300, it is basically the same round only with twice the powder, LOL

The scope is a Swift 8 X 32 - 50 those are the best value in scopes going.

Your oneupmanship of yourself is truly incredible. Eventually you'll find the vapor zone, where no matter what bullet you spew out, it turns into vapor on its way to it's intended target. I'm still waiting for you to hit Mach I.
Cant wait to see the velocities you get.

That bolt handle looks like it was specifically designed for removing sticky brass from hot loaded ammo. Dean I like what you do. I may throw a jab here and there, but it's mostly because I wish I could play with these types of builds as much as you do. I think 108's out of my 8 twist 6.5-06 is about as hot as i'll go for now and that will more than likely be my varmint load for both hunting and varmint silhouette matches. The 140 VLDs is what I'm intending to use for long range competitions.

Great job on another fun, but not quite so wild cat build!

I enjoy the banter, notice how I put this in the 110 section instead of the wildcat section, I tell you the rifling and finish of those Bartleins are almost to nice to send a bullet though, come to think of it, this barrel is one of the few that I have that I don't have to fire form, or use several dies to shape the brass so I can chamber it, I was thinking of this I bet you I will be able to shoot those 168gr and stabilize them, somewhere around 4000FPS we will see.

Dean

PS: As far as the bolt handle, stangfish made it for me, the down side is there is so much leverage, you can't tell if the brass is getting sticky. LOL

Very, very nice!

Looks good! Cant wait to see the chrono numbers...wow! There may not even be a red mist! They may just vaporize into oblivion leaving no trace whatsoever! Thats AWESOME! lol

That is one great looking rifle!! How flat shooting is the 300 RUM?

It does not get any flatter than than that, I would not be surprised if I make it out to 500 yards, before I start to see any bullet drop, I am already well past 400yards with some of my other rigs, and this one will easily surpass them, I can't wait.

Dean

I ran it through a basic calculator and it says that if the rifle is sighted for 100yds (with the scope at 1.5" above bore) that the 110 V-Max will only drop -3.0" at 300yds, -8.4" at 400yds, and -17.4" at 500yds but still has nearly 1900FT/Lbs of energy at 500yds and still traveling nearly 2800fps.

That thing isn't going to create a red mist cloud when its hits a pdog, its going to create a red mist Thunderstorm.

Hey Boots Thanks for posting that, and doing the math, what FPS did you put at the muzzle?

Dean

Right around 4 gazillion fps, pretty sure thats what he used lol.
Seriously though that kinda trajectory is awesome. I curious to what boots put in too, and Im anxious to see what you end up with.

Have any of you considered using the 26 Nosler?

I did consider it but then I stuck with the 6.5 RUM, in my case it was to stay with RUM brass, and keep things simpler, and it had better numbers.

Dean

Bravo again Dean! Can't wait to see what speed this thing hits!

Can't wait to see how it shoots.

Can i name it for you? WMD

Well you stated 4400fps with your 300WM above, so I estimated very conservatively for you at 4700FPS.

Or the CRT
Carcass Removal Tool

Great now no matter how stiff the bolt lift is, or how flat the primer is, I am going to keep adding powder until I reach 4700FPS, just to make sure boots did not waste his time, the pressures on, did you catch that, the pun, you know the play on words, pressure get it, never mind.

Dean

Nevermind the 4700fps where are the pics of the red sand paint?

Sure hope that's a large shank barrel and 0.500" bolt lugs. Actually, I'd prefer custom 0.550" lugs.

As a matter of fact it is a small shank, all my RUM are small shanks, the major reason is "bolt thrust" they difference in they amount, and the duration of bolt thrust, are astronomical between the two, when launching a 110gr Vmax and launching a 208gr Amax, and that is what allows me to run a small shank.

Dean

Hey Dean. How clear is the Swift scope from 25 to 32 power? And how easy is it to acquire site picture and stay on it?

Thanks....Jim :-))

Hey Jim, they are clear all the way to 32X, and the field of view is half decent, but by far there best feature is they stand up to my RUM, the are by far the best value going, as far as I am concerned anyways.


Dean

Sounds like a great value! Thanks scope! :-))

You're a braver man than I. It would be a large shank and 0.500" lugs for me. Then again, I'm just too darn good looking to take the chance of having a bolt come back in my face or a barrel turn into a grenade. :-)

Aren't you glad I didn't say 5000fps? ;)

I have a feeling you will make it to 4700 with little effort.

So....Dean, when are we gonna hear/see some results? So thats how it works? Somebody puts in some numbers for ya and you just work up till you get it. Nice! I like it lol. Boots, are you sure you didnt put 5000 in that calculation? ;)
Scooter

I am going to record this stunt on my phone, and post it so it will be bonafied, I am going up to New Hampshire labor day weekend, can't wait, all the while hoping for good groupings.

Dean

Sighted at 100yds, scope 1.5" over bore, shooting the 110 V-Max, at 5000fps (the highest this calculator will allow):
0yd = -1.5" with 6,108 ft/lb of muzzle energy
100yd = 0.0
200yd = -0.15"
300yd = -2.27"
400yd = -6.81"
500yd = -14.36" still with 2,250 ft/lbs of energy

Does that get your mouth watering Dean? If it doesn't just think of all the bacon you could eat each morning on the camp fire before heading out to the pdog fields when you head west someday.

Hey Boots, Is that inch's or MOA, if it is inch's that's 2.75 MOA at 500 yards, WOW

Dean

it is "Inch"

Tag, need to know.

Tag for the results.
