.375....
what I want is a good, light action, but i'll settle on a LOOOOOOONNNNNG Rem for the ultra-mags. then get a #3 or 4 contour Kreiger, 28-34", put it in a McMillan Edge, cryo-prossed, open the bolt-face, then chamber 'er fer .378. should be able to get it around 7-8lbs, but i might have to go w/a shorter or lighter bbl. i'm fightin' the weight-length trade-off, y'understand, but i figger them Speer 300gr AGS tungstin's would just be about right for the mastodons n' trannys, mebbe a terra'daktul when i get m'time machine cranked up, (gotta get a new krystul for the palladium reacter nex'week). i HAD given some thought to a Solothern(thought it wuz a sunspot storm at ferst), figured you didn't HAVE to be so accurate on those 1453.6827yard
longshots, i figured i'd just get me some 2" pipe, pull the payload on some 40MM set-back rounds & load 'em singl-shot, then pour about another cup or two of varget down the bore, then drop in the set-back just before i light 'er off. that oughta stampede the elks, then i'd git behind the Solo, an' drop a few HEs in front of 'em so they'd fall in the craters an break ther necks, or at least a legger 2, and i could walk up an' pop 'em behind the ears w/muh .22 and wouldn't hav'ta put up with blood-shot meat all winter in muh stews. my question is: have anny of you guys tried this???? and how'd it work out. mah buddy Elroy told me(we wer gonna put a plastic nose-cone on the setbacks) we had better sodder a bronz point on the setbacks because the plastic wouldn't hold up. so what kinda sodder shud we uze??? and how good do they fly, way out ther', ken we get 'em in front of THE elk, or dowe just picka herd?? shud we getus one' a them Dr. shoals gel footpads to put on the shoalder of the shootin' caot to keap down the rekoyl?? enny help will be reel good, thanky.
