Look what fell out of my lathe tonight

[Grizzly_A]

Alright...I'm intrigued.
When was that range report going up?

When I can get the feeding issue figured out. Fired some test loads a couple nights ago and it kind of impresses me. Just need to get this thing to feed. Then I'll spill the beans.

 

[bballer182]

It's ALIVE.



Feeds (sort of) and ejects.

The poor video quality is because its filmed at 240fps on a non professional camera, sorry. ;-)

Please tell me it is a 7x40 and works well.

Sorry not a 7x40. ;-)

Why is it a secret?

 

[bballer182]

Its a wildcat I thought up and I'd like it to run nicely before putting it out in the wild.

Looks like a largerish case......

.401 SLR

Hmm... .424 - so 10mm, 30 remington, or maybe 30/30 (.422) as possible donor cases?

 

[bballer182]

10mm magnum is the parent case.

nice
what did custom dies and a custom reamer run if you don't mind me asking?

That's the beauty. They didn't.

Nope, but I have a buddy who wants to revitalize and modernize the .401WSL/SL/SLR whatever you want to call it.

401SLR has been modernized by the .41 rem mag..

But I'm sure you could turn the case into something else !

I think he's wanting to lengthen it and use a different parent case.

 

[Velzey]

That's one of the fun things to do! So many options.. That's how I've ended up with sooo many reamers.

Copy that! You wouldn't happen to have a 300sav finisher that I could rent or borrow off of you?

Did you go .355 or .357 bore
Looks like one of the wildcat builds I did, did you open the bolt or use a 6.8, 762x39 or 458 socom bolt ?
