Just ordered another barrel for my vanguard action. 28” 1:8 300wm from McGowan.
Will be shooting monos. First bullets to try will be badlands super bulldozer2’s 205gr.
May try some ce lazers.
Have everything ordered minus the brake. Have not decided on which one I want. Thinking about a mbm?
Looking forward this one, should keep me busy while I peace together the 416 build.

But for a 300 wm I would use stimulous $ and just get a Terminator T3 !
Is That an A3 stock?

With the many different bullets that are available to us now and the new powders that help squeeze the most from less I find myself being drawn more and more to cartridges I'd consider being in the middle with regard to case capacity. Maybe that's why I like the 7mm Blaser and WSM case sizes so much.
Hey, nice stock by the way. :tup:

Just a guess but I think that's a Manners T2, but that is just a guess. ;)

I’ve been waiting to try out MBM’s next version with selectable top ports But still not out yet. Partial to having that option like Slayer and lil FB gen 3.its amanners T2 if I remember correctly. @B23 might remember.

Decided to try my scope off the 243. Boom 1/2” 5 shot group with the last load I had tried with the 205gr sbd2’s.
This will be the third time that scope has been in for warranty and was replaced once.
So load work is starting over again. Least she’s good and broke in now

At least you are back on track. :tup:

Argh darn scope issues. Thats the reason I've been switching everything to rails so I can quickly test a known scope.on the bright side barrels not a lemon lol. Sadly I burned through a lot of components for nothing other than break in I guess. I did find a few boxes of Berger 210gr vlds to play with. In all honesty I don’t really need to start over load work. Just see if I can find tune the load with the sbd2’s. Happy enough with 1/2 Moa. Es is 12 for 5 shots and 2960 isn’t bad for those badlands 205’s. Definitely put a hurt on my buck and hopefully another one this weekend in Montana.
At least you are back on track. :tup:
