I'll wait till LWRC makes it. Cool concept though. I think they'll be making a big caliber one soon, especially with the success of the REPR.

If it's real I'd like to see what powder he was using.

That's the first thing I asked him after I saw he was using 230's. This was his reply....

"That load is still in development and is very hot out of a very long barrel throated for this bullet especially.

This was 46.3gr of RL17."

This was 46.3gr of RL17."

That's about 18% over book max for folks following along at home. It would also be a highly compressed load (like 117% of case capacity if my math is right.) I doubt that it's even possible to get that much powder into the case and still have room to seat a bullet, but in any case* be very careful.

*No pun intended.

 

[GunGrey]

I was right, that load data is NUTS

Hmmm, 32 inch barrel, 230 gr. Berger bullets, special throat, silly MVs.

Sounds like a pretty unique set of parameters don't ya think? Not exactly a KTP or Four Seasons special.

Maybe one day they'll carry $2,000 and $3,000 rifles.

Most of the guys on the site were getting all amped up for the new Accuracy International rifle that would let you switch between .308, .338, and .300..... and it was $18K.

Not like trying to change the subject or anything.

For most normal rifles and ammunition the .308 runs out of gas at just about 1000 yards. I'm not saying that you can't hit targets beyond that, but the bullet is well subsonic at those ranges. 1000 yards is really at the edge of the envelope.

Don't rely on some crap that is posted on the internet. Do your own research, learn to use a good ballistics program that utilizes the correct drag function and invest in reference materials that will give you the information you need to make intelligent posts on the subject.

It was a few more than just that guy but hopefully soon I can start getting more into long range shooting.

You made an absurd claim. When I called you out on it you said I was wrong. The stuff you posted was not even close to what your claim was and as pointed out by other posters, it was some foolishness with a guy shooting 32" barrels and 17% over book charges. When was the last time you even saw a 32" barrel on a rifle? I've only seen one.

I go out of my way not to post BS about the technical pieces of LR shooting and if you claim that I'm FOS, you best be prepared to back it up.

It's pretty easy to tell the difference between people who shoot and people who get their info from Modern Warfare 3 on xbox.
