your right fj, I've just today done some weighing, I had this rifle built cause it's the closedt thing I can get trajectory wise to my 7mm AM and I can now shoot without worrying about burning a barrel up, my posts at the start of this thread were compiled with info I had read, so what does that tell us?
RR Well.......it tells me that you have a beautiful handcrafted rifle, chambered for an interesting cartridge. Probably time to start reloading and shootin'......eh? Congratulations and good luck........ FJ Lee Carkenord

This has been a great post and I have learned alot. The gibbs round does look good, and you have a great looking rifle.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Ok, have now fireformed 20 brass or so, so I'll report.
Its going well, in between sleeping and working 12 hour shifts I'll load 5 and go out and shoot.
only precaution I have to give is, remember the feel of the bolt going closed, the burnt COW sometimes is left in the neck and smears the next brass upon firing, so about every third round I run a nylon brush through the barrel.
The shoulders just show a hint of being rounded but they will be fine.

I know that he aint the most popular guy in the world w/ a lot of shooters, but not to far back (last year sometime) Rick Jamison did a piece in shooting times comparing the 06, 06 Imp and the 30 Gibbs. If anyone get shooting times, you can probably find the comparison of case capcities. There was a pretty significant increase in capacity, but of course, that doesn't translate into that same increase in performance.
