Almost time to play at 1K.
« on: January 31, 2012, 05:21:00 PM »
All I'm waiting on is my optics to be delivered from Leupold. My 30" 9 twist Shilen, chambered in 7mm WSM is ready to go. It took a bit to get all the bullets in, I'm going to be testing the following bullets at 1000 yards with H1000, H4831sc and Retumbo.

180gr Berger VLD

190gr Matrix VLD

177gr Cauterucio VLD

189gr Cauterucio  VLD

















Oh, I can't forget the thread protector for the F-Class " Sissies" to the left and right. :chuckle: :chuckle:

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Makes for easier driving in the fast lane. :tup: It's also threaded, so I can change it out with any style I wish. I can run my smaller Kampfeld hunter knob if I like.

Mid February when PTG releases their Rem700 long action detachable mag bottom metal, I'll switch it over to the PTG set up and run the AICS Lapua magazines. It will feed the WSM like glass and I can run any VLD on the planet without worry of getting screwed in the powder capacity department due to the VLD's having to be seated deep. I built it on a long action and had it throated for the VLD's. All the room in the world for those sleek, sexy bullets. ;)

That 7mm WSM is a neat round...all long range business right there.
Good looking rifle, especially that  brake.
