Quote from: yorketransport on February 01, 2020, 10:02:32 AMYou know what you could do? You could push a 26 Nosler reamer into your barrel about .150" deeper and headspace off of a 338 RUM go gage and have yourself a 26 Boondoogle! It would essentially be a 6.5 Badger with a 35° shoulder that would let you use standard 26 Nosler dies. Then you can pick up some ADG 338 RUM brass and have some REAL fun. Look at me helping! Just be sure to put plenty of sand in the barrel threads and pull a length of 40 weight barbed wire through the barrel to keep in line with the original Boondoogle.

I should have just thrown one of my Boondoogle barrels on an action and pawned it off on Jolten. Then it can be his problem and I can move on to the next failed project!
Transforming a Savage 110 270win into a 26 nosler. -Recoil lug- McGowen prefit barrel - 28" - Sendero contour - 1-8" twist - 26 Nosler - Savage small shank threads - muzzle threaded 5/8x24 - 5/8x24 turbo-brake - DBM bottom metal with 1 magazine- Boyd's At-One stock- Timney trigger Hoping to use Barnes 127gr LRX at roughly 3600fps. Big shout out to York for talking a newbie through all this. Should be a fun first build.

Hope yours is great too!Have you tried the turbobrake of theirs yet?nope. I’m a terminator guyHave used MBM, Terminator 4, and now the Fat Lil B** Gen 3 - really liking it. Tuned the top ports until muzzle lift was zero. Think the Larger FB Gen 3 is my next brake. Not a big deal with little calibers and heavy barrels but big guns and whippy barrels its nice to be able to tune.
Trying to decide if I want a 20moa base and what optic to run. It's for up to 600yards for deer rifle. Thinking maybe a 6-24x? Any input

Well barrel should be here any day now. Debating on if I should use the factory recoil lug or order one in. Also thinking of staying with the Boyd's stock or switch ya chassis system...
