We finished up the barreled action Saturday. 20lbs of ass kickin!

I spent the weekend building my bullet trap. 16"x48" piece of well casing stitched up to a frame on casters. Filled it up with sand and woo hoo. We can shoot inside now. Tested so far with a 300 Win Mag. Rattles the fillings out your teeth! Were gonna wheel it outside later and test fire the 50 through it.

Should be fun!

Here's the pics of the boomer going together. I don't have my press/dies yet. They are on the way. I decided to take a stab at making a turned bullet. Downloaded a pic of the Hornady Amax, washed it through the software, typed out some code, and gave it a try using annealed brass. My first piece was .0012" undersize and came in -13.5 grains from the targeted 750. I think when I bump the tool offset the .0012" it'll be much closer to the correct weight.

Perty cool. Were gonna shoot it with these and save the expensive ones for the range on Shawn's rifle.

Here's the pics:

Nice......looks better than I figured!......I weighted the stock, just under 6 lbs, with a 16x mark 4 the total package should weight in at around 28 lbs......

Hopefully we may be shooting it this weekend!

Thanks, Chad

Test fire went well! My bullet trap survived! The tube is 48" long. Bullet penetrated 36+ of sand before coming to rest. We dug it out just to see what it looked like.

Boxing her up now killer.

She'll leave in the am.
