Sorry for the necro post, was looking for some other things regarding AP ammo on the forum and came across this thread, plus there is a Mythbuster's marathon on today so this may actually have some relevence if somebody comes online after seeing the "shooting into water" episode. Regarding...

That's way too far down the road for me to know for sure. I've got vacation time coming up and a friend and I are planning two camping trips for late Feb or early March, going up to Carrizo Plains for a couple days to turn the long range rifles loose and get away from it all. I need to...

sorry for the necro post. Have some more pictures that some may like to see. 12x12 inch steel plate 1 1/4 inches thick shot at 150 to 200 yards. Has absorbed around 40 hits at most, of all those shots only 4 have completely penetrated. Some of the complete penetrations occured when...

Guys, check out the SSK Industries page a little more closely. They make a non-NFA Destructive Device chambering in 14.5mm that is a necked up 50BMG, how does 1100+ grains at 2700+fps grab you? The thing has been around for a couple months now and I have linked to it in the past on this...

Makes me think, "408 Chey-huh?" Lot of things claimed for the 408CheyTac wound up not panning out quite as planned when trying to push the thing as claimed, atleast that's what I've read for the past 4 years or so. But 1100+ grns or so at 2700fps, that thing aught to fly to a hell of a...

Yeah, not to mention that it's throwing an 1100grn bullet at a velocity similar to what the 50BMG throws the 750grn Hornady Amax at. That there speaks volumes. If JDJ/SSK would just get over some of their proprietary minded mumbo jumbo it would be nice to order off a 50BMG upper...

To heck with all the 50s, get a 14.5mm JDJ. SSK Industries has a new one out that launches an 1100+ grn bullet at 2700+fps, parent brass is 50BMG brass necked up to hold the 14.5mm bullet. That should prove to have a bit of retained energy down range don't you think? It ain't NFA DD...

That's more or less the one build I wish I could have completed before the Ca. ban, a legit early SP1 build with as many authentic early A1 (or even original Colt/Armalite AR15) features as possible. Something to be said for a rifle that weighs in at 5.5-6 pounds. Only had so many funds...

Pic of some rifles residing in Ca. to make all the Ca. members jealous. And a pic showing what the single shot DPMS lower became.

There is effectively such a round, it's the 510DTC which is somewhat like a PPC version of the 50BMG. Neck angle is blown out slightly, neck length is shortened slightly, and body taper is slightly more straight. Balistically speaking the rounds are almost identical but you can't chamber...

Hey Rojo, you need to slap one of these on it to see if it has enough recoil to collapse that stock for you :) Pics taken out of Reward road at that little spot you and I have talked about.

Get a decent scope with around 65MOA of internal elevation and a 20MOA base should allow a 308Win or 30-06 to have a 100 yard zero plus still be able to reach to 1000 yards. A 175grn SMK in the 308Winchester(running around 2700fps if I remember correct) can get to 1000 yards while staying...

I've actually been there and met some of the guys that shoot in Cuyama. Came back from Ventura over the 33 once specifically so I can find the range and see what's going on. They seem to be pretty content being a small affair and trying to stay lowkey. Might look to put in some shots...

I wouldn't mind going out to shoot a couple matches, even if they aren't really for record as the shooting I do is usually off of a pack with a rear rest. Not sure if F-class allows for use of rests and the like. Don't have much desire to get into firing with the use of a sling from the...

Yep, the whole intent behind why I bought the rifle and built it the way I did was to stretch the legs on the 300WinMag. 1-1.2k yards is how far I'd like to shoot this thing. I'm 1/2 tempted to switch to 300RUM when the rebuild comes so that I can get even further to like 1500-1600 yards...
