Title: New wildcat time! AR STYLE!!!
Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 24, 2016, 08:40:36 PM: Well I don't post many gun pic's but wanted to share this one. This is a 25x45. Planning on dumping some yotes with 70g blitzkings and 85g btips :IBCOOL: Maybe even a deer or two might get the orange kiss of death :chuckle:

I have been running a 6x45 for several years and really liked it. So I decided to set up a 25x45 and started picking up parts. Got this set back from my cerakoter along with a few for my clients today. So I had a few minutes to bust out the build. Hope you enjoy the pic's :tup:

Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 24, 2016, 09:11:39 PM: Spartan billet lower and billet YHM upper. Of course BHW barrel.

300 All I have is sized brass right now. It is just a 223 case necked up to .257

I'd like to neck a 22-250 up to .257 and get a savage 99 barreled for that
:chuckle: when I get bored of that I could neck it up to .30 cal

What's the problem with flat base bullets? You are chamfering the case mouths, aren't you?

Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 26, 2016, 11:58:32 AM: Yes for sure. The seater plug in the rcbs dies wants the bullet perfectly orientated or it will botch the tip. I wish they had the hornaday bullet sleeve! That makes loading flat base bullets so nice!

I kept this one light. Without optic it comes in at 6.9lbs. So this one has the 16" barrel. I am guessing at the velocity here since I have not run it over the chrono. I am guessing th2 70's should run around 2700-2750. There is a few people running the 20" barrels with the 70g bullets hitting right at 3k.
