New Varmint build, any guesses what it is?
« on: January 24, 2017, 05:12:30 PM »
Have a new varmint build in the works, any guesses what it is per the pic?  That's a 17 Hornet next to it for comparison.

What ever it is the barrel probably won't last long, and it's very fast.  :tup:

That's probably a very safe assumption.  Depending on how it gets treated, 600-ish rounds, but, it should be a VERY fun 600-ish rounds. lol

Not a Cheetah MK I or MK II

Not a TTH aka 22-6mm but I do have one of those. :tup:  Not anything off of a SAUM, WSM, or any of the Blaser cases.  Is a standard bolt face but is not a 22-08, although that was the nearest guess so far.

Not sure if this will help much but from left to right  17 Hornet, ?, 7mm Blaser Magnum

LOL I never even heard of that one.  I'll have to look that one up, but no that's not it either.

In preliminary testing this cartridge is shooting 55gr Bergers out of a 26in. barrel 4100fps and hadn't pressured out yet.  Shot 40gr Vmax over 4500fps and surprisingly the bullets didn't vaporize in flight.  :yike:

Lol, I only shoot over the counter stuff, have never reloaded yet, and really don't know much about caliber development. Your building a wildcat right, So pretty much can build anything off another case as long as it isn't bigger then parent case?

You had the right caliber the first time, just wrong parent case and shoulder angle.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!!  :tup:

The boys at Defensive Edge Rifles have been developing a 20 caliber version of their "Terminator" line and came up with what they are calling the 204 Terminator which is a 260 Rem necked down to .20 cal with the same shoulder angle as their other Terminators.

It's a given the barrel life probably won't be much over 600 rounds but shooting those 20 cal 55gr Bergers 4100fps and maybe more, should be a lot of fun and I can only imagine what it'll do to a coyote or groundhog. :yike:

They've built a test/shop rifle and in preliminary testing they were launching the 55gr Bergers at almost 4100fps and hadn't pressured out yet.  They played with some 40gr Vmax and were sending them downrange at over 4500 with no pressure signs.  The Vmax doesn't have a particularly robust jacket so I was a little surprised they even made the trip to the target.

Using a 1-8tw Krieger barrel on this build and it's not something they regularly make so it could be a few months waiting for the barrel but I think they're going to order 4-5 barrels to help speed the order up and keep a couple in stock for future builds.

I can't wait to see what it does to a  coyote but I realllllllllly can't wait to shoot a Rock Chuck with this thing.  I'm guessing it'll be rather messy. :yike:
