Once I have more Data on Point of engagement at 1Km and can make hits more frequently then I will likely add some distance to my shooting.

If the Libs are elected I will sell ya my rifle and save you having to do a build. Lets just hope that doesnt happen so I can continue to enjoy my favorite hobby.

Let's hope; although I doubt they will come after bolt action rifles. I shouldn't really say that as my 2nd wife is a Cadex rifle which I saved for quite a few years and it does have that "military" look.

This thing with the Liberals is getting a little ridiculous.

Great looking build. I built a similar calber before the prc was released a few years back. I formed my brass from 375 ruger or 300 win mag brass, which i COW fireformed to blow it out.

It may hold a few extra kernals then the 300 prc but im getting 2950fps with retumbo and wat right around 3000fps with n570. This was with the 225s and a 25in barrel

Ive had it out to 1910yds and its a very consistent caliber.

Where did you get brass?

I got the Brass from Nerlandia Co-op i believe. I think Pro Line shooters in Calgary can order it as well.

I hope your custom build doesn’t work out exactly the way you anticipated and decide to sell it as spare parts. I’ll message you my phone number.

RPS INTERNATIONAL. Edm area. Build on a nice new defiance rebel. I think there are a few shops carrying adg now. Pays to shop around.

I am thinkning of loading up some 225 ELD-M for spring. I was using 4831SC with 212gr and that was nice. I think the 225 might need H1000 or Retumbo. Any of you have any luck or advice on this?

I also just got a 300 prc. Mine was a rem 700 300wm in an accuracy international folding stock. Took it to Henry Remple, reamed it out and went with the KRG bravo for the long mags. I bought hornady brass from Darc Custom rifles in High River and I’m running the Sierra 200gr matchkings for now due to the 1-10” twist. H1000 and I ordered Whidden dies direct from the US. If you choose to do a press upgrade go Redding ultra mag or look at the ATRS press they build. Expensive, but well made.

I haven’t shot mine yet. Hopefully this weekend if it dries up. Love the non-belted case and I already own a 416 ruger so case design is familiar to me. Keep you in the loop
