New build time!
« Reply #16 on: April 22, 2023, 08:35:54 PM »
:chuckle:  :fishin:

Have you thought about a bumpfire brace? Those should get you there “if you do your part”

I forgot about bumbfire braces! I think I need one of those binary trigger things too. A little extra lead down range can help for those times that I can't do my part.  :chuckle:

Have to be honest kinda disappointed... I thought for sure youd go with a .22 EARGESPLITTEN LOUDENBOOMER necked up to .243 and call it .243 BiggestHammer..

A .243 bullet for 1000 yard elk? That's just crazy! I don't think you're taking this very seriously....

I’m not dead yet……

Whatever happened to the AK in 444?


That's a pretty vanilla with sprinkles suggestion. You've gone soft. Maybe the rumors about you going liberal really are true. I always knew you leaned to the socialist side of things.

Sorry, I left out the Tantal trigger group.

Why would you want a short barrel on a hunting gun? Your going to

Is this your first Yorke thread?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I mean, it's a pistol so technically 14" is pert long  :chuckle:

Is it ok to be sad this isn't a resurrection of the boondoggle?

First of all, HuntWA has disappointed me. A few years ago, this thread would have gone completely off the rails and resulted in at least 3 people getting banned within the first 5 posts. Two of the banned members would have just been jay.sharkbait and biggerhammer though, so they don't really count. :chuckle: I was sure the 1000 yards on elk would get a few more folks worked up.

I do love the fact that I can throw together a theoretical build using components that are either banned or impossible to get (has anyone tried to get the 131 Blackjack bullets lately ;)) and nobody even bats an eye anymore. I've done some dumb projects over the years, but this would be a new low, even for me!

Why would you want a short barrel on a hunting gun? Your going to
Loose so much speed.
That's an easy one to answer. Short barrels earn you 3x internet operator points, 4x points if you do a short barrel and say "I only shoot suppressed". Short barrels just make a great excuse to use a larger-capacity case. Want a 14" 7mm? Build a 7mm WSM. An 18" 30 caliber is more your thing? A 300 RUM is the only logical choice. Need a 20" 338 capable of legitimate 1000 yard elk hunting? The 338 SnipeTac is a clear winner and my personal favorite. :tup:

Is it ok to be sad this isn't a resurrection of the boondoggle?
No, it's not OK to be sad. The Boondoogle has been erased from the public record and is never to be spoken of again. I'm still paying for therapy to move on after that never-ending dumpster fire of a project. Although, I did hit 4250 fps with a 103gr Apex Afterburner out of the 25" barrel.... :chuckle:

That's the spirit! Long barrels are for cheaters who need to get closer to the target.

I thought the "It needs to be better than 1 MOA to 1000 yards so I can use it for elk hunting this fall" and the use of a "Simmons 6-24x44mm ProTarget scope" was pretty funny.  :chuckle:
