my two are in and i'll pick them up on tuesday. gunner, great minds think alike. im going to build a matched pair of 400's for a friend and i
Helluve deal, I got 100 rounds of quality cartridge cylindrical [basic] 400 Whelen brass, gonna leave the shoulder at .458" and ream with a 'Petrov' reamer.
With a case mouth o.d. of 435", that will leave a 23 thou shoulder for head-spacing.
Also got a couple hundred 400 gr Woodleigh weld-core bullets, will be looking for 2150 fps from the Krieger 14 twist barrel at 25" burning CFE-223 powder.
Gonna build a poor mans safari rifle with a nice NEGC barrel band front sight, sling swivel barrel band, and a nice flip up island rear sight and exploit the hell out of the 06' hull for maximum power and efficiency.
Have a set of the QD Sunny Hill rings on the way too, they said they are un-blued, just as well, all the metal will be charcoal blued to go nice with the McMillan syn stock as well as a nice piece of walnut should one ever come along.
