Parent case .308 Winchester on the right. ☠️Project-X☠️ left.
Think of it as bad A$$ supersonic and dwarfs the .300 Blackout subsonic.
No spilling the beans Yorke!

I remember that being done in the 1970's/80's a fellow screwed a 375 Win Savage Brushgun barrel on a Savage 99 that was originally a 308 and opened the barrel to 375-08.
Everything's been done over the years. Fairly few new "Mouse traps".
A guy that is a vault of knowledge is Dave the owner of CH4D Tool & Die. He's been in the wildcat game forever. I don't care what combo you come up with. He can pull a print and tell you the first year it was done. Some of these popular wildcats kicking around today were tried many, many years ago.
No matter how crazy your cartridge. Quality custom dies for 89.00 a set. Incredibly well priced, considering I have paid $375.00 for a custom set of dies from RCBS, of course that was before I found CH4D.

I'll use the Gamekings to break in the barrel and get a basic 200 yard zero. Then I'll switch over to the Nosler 260gr Accubond's.
I'm still waiting on my Scope, mount, trigger and bolt carrier group to be delivered. It should all be here tomorrow.
.308 Win case left. .375 Raptor cartridge right.

That gives me a little over 3360 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle and a little over 1800 foot pounds at 300 yards and puts a big hole in stuff.
First victim I imagine will be a coyote, then come spring. I'll load up some Accubond's and smoke some Rockchucks.
Most of my Black bear and Elk in the timber have been shot under 75 yards. This should be great for a in close heavy hitter.

I can launch the 250's out of a 18" barrel @ 2500 fps.That’s impressive speed for that smaller case. :tup:

I like to be able to swap scopes between AR15's and AR10's. I'm sick of throw lever mounts. Very few return to zero when being remounted.
It was supposed to be delivered tomorrow but I received a notification it won't be here until Thursday. All that festive extra, crap holiday mail.

Hit the range with only 5 rounds loaded. Just to see if they went bang! Also to function test the new AR. Also at a $1.25 a bullet Shipped. I wasn't going to load more than a few for my first go at it. I hate pulling bullets.
Went really well bellow is the first and only 5 shot group I have fired from the rifle. Started with a new, cold, clean bore. No break in. The first round was out (To be expected) the next 4 stacked up to be a hair over half inch.

What a thumper.
What is the point behind the controlled fracturing bullets? Do they make a nasty wound channel? Do pieces come off at impact? Just curious if they are meant for hunting.
Any idea what kind of pressure those compressed loads run?
Post by: Biggerhammer on December 28, 2017, 02:08:52 PM
I already know the combo will shoot. So I fired 3 at the 200 yard line. The aim point is 3/4" it grouped 3" low and 3" right. The three shot group measured .496! I'll take it!
I'm going to load up a bunch. Clean the rifle and in the morning zero it at 200 yards and call it good.
200 yards.

You must be tired of it by now, I’ve got a Chinese sks I’ll trade straight across for it, it’s a much more reliable gun, proven track record millions have been sold. :tup:
The old School SKS's are alright if you can shoot. I took a Mule Deer buck just shy of 600 yards with one using open sights about 20 years ago. Started low and walked them in, he was in a open sage creek bottom bellow me. Round number 5 dumped him. Holes kill crap, it's a simple concept. Most just over think it. vitamin "R" and a good spotter works wonders.
It wasn't even my rifle. When I went to hand it back to my Buddy. He said "Screw you, you can pack it. If I have to pack half that damn deer." All I said is you got that $100.00 bucks on you or do I have to drive you by a cash machine when we hit the pavement.
We never really knew for sure the range on that shot until 10 or so years later. We were in the same spot and had a range finder and ranged it.

The Lehigh Custom 250gr Controlled Fracturing .375 bullets shot well. Yorke's posts about the "Hammer" bullets. Got me to their website, so I ordered up several bullet weights to try in my .375 Raptor.

Are those hammer bullets all copper

Yes, they are. I'm switching all of my hunting guns over to these instead of the Accubonds and Barnes bullets that I've been using. It's not that I have any problems with either the Nosler or Barnes bullets, these just seem to be the best of both worlds. They shoot as well as or better than every other bullet I've tried in all of my guns and they perform like a Barnes bullet does on impact. They shoot well enough that I use the heavy 338s as target bullets in my 338/408 Improved pistol.
