Steve is great and a good friend but he likes to work at his own pace and I ain't one to wait long. Thinking about a weekend jump down south to give that wonderful sob a big hug. Hey Fred, you headed down to Texas? Get ready for the humidity and heat, unless you stay up in North Texas or hunt on land that borders the Gulf.

It's going to be a 7wsm. That ruger action ain't short and it ain't long. But it will be perfect for the wsm.

Mr. Sam...might be a silly question, but is that pump hard to prime as far as it is from the water to the pump? Do you have a bypass from suction to the flow line on it to fill it with? Or do you have to haul water from river to fill it? I worked a number of years in the oilfield and used a number of different types of pumps and sometimes they could be a booger to prime. So, when I see something like that, I had to ask. It just looks like with the large of a suction and that long from pump to water it could be troublesome? Ruger, it primes up on a 'vacuum' line from the top end of the suction to the exhaust. If you look close at the pic you can see the copper line. If the river is up it primes easy, can be a bit tricky if it's down. Once in awhile we have to replace the pump packing in order to get it sealed up, that or tighten down on it.

Very nice hole. Will post pictures later.
300 WM. 73 grains of retumbo. Cci250. PPU brass. Stuffed in a stiller predator action with a non-lapped Douglas 1-11t. Works well for killing really well.

At least your pump is self priming. LOL. High tide is twice a day so hope is never lost.
