gzig5,
Bryan Litz would love to hear from you. He'll pay your way to his ballistic-testing facility to test your rifles.

John, I'd like to think so but I met Bryan several years ago at the Midwest Palma matches in Lodi when I won the Wisconsin 1000yd championship for Master class. I think this was before he finished his book and started gaining national notoriety. We shot on the same point and I got to pull and score for him. There is no doubt in my mind that Brian doesn't need my help. :-) Not only is he a very intelligent engineer, he is a fantastic shooter and wind reader. In a no-wind or constant wind situation, he would just tear up the 6" spotter disk in the X-ring at 1000yds shooting prone from a sling with iron sights. It was a great experience. He freely offered advice to other competitors and I learned a lot.

Laker, those loads you posted are all awesome hunting loads.
I'm the same way, I've got more loads for my Mashburn than tags I think.

DMD: Cool beans that's some old stuff! Back from the days before the 300 Win Mag existed and the 7mm Mashburn Super was formed from 300 H&H ammo.

I have no way to know, but wonder if these were not loaded by Art Masburn or someone in his shop. It came with a rifle marked Mashburn Arms and the rifle appears to not have been shot much.

It could have been.....I guess it wouldn't be unusual for the builder of a wildcat custom to have supplied some ammo to get a client started. I think Weatherby used to do it routinely. Judging from your pictures I don't think that rifle is even broken in yet.
