Bring enough gun ,375 ?

[Dusty Stevens]

Dusty, several sources for banded front and rear sights. Order close to fit and bore to an exact fit. Definitely use Alaska Arms for scope rings, especially for a CZ.

Ill get with you on it. Been in the works for many years- always on the back burner

Lets see some
Pics! Sound like a fun time at the range!

I’m working on that and not quite ready to post yet / soon though! Go to mission shooting supplies to see my new 2.007” 50 BMG necked down to 375 caliber runs 150/160 grains powder. Just a barrel swap if you have 50BMG or 416 Barrett -795/803 rim size thanks for the input mike

I’ve never heard of a hunting rifle max weight in my life??? Other than what your body will allow you to carry.

In any hunt, including any-weapon seasons, it is unlawful to pursue or kill big game animals:
• With any firearm that, in combination with a scope, sling and/or any attachments, weighs more than 16 pounds.

Long time ago now a group of out of state shooters had what amounted to an aircraft turret mounted on a trailer for shooting Idaho game at extreme range. The problem was wasting game - shoot another - rather than making the effort to recover given the distance and sometimes the intervening terrain. Recovery might even be flat impossible so don't shoot. At this late date I'm not saying the behavior was actually criminal but certainly concerning. Gary "Sam" McNeil resource biologist IIRC suggested hand held shoulder fired. I suggested some of the black powder buffalo hunter rigs and crazy African game exotics (700 Nitro is typically 19 pounds) were pretty heavy. Fish and Game, correctly I suppose, wanted a bright line rule that amounted to the same thing. So that's what we have.

Thanks for the link very interesting work . The post seem to be from 2016/2017 is Ed still around ( even with out his right shoulder) LOL ? Those are some impressive cartridges and some top shooters using his cartridges and ideas . Would like to see how these cases are doing to day as far as any additional development or continued success? The King of two mile / ect long range compation has really been a great testing and proving ground and a lot of the top shooters in the country are involved ! but I think we’re just getting started on cartridge development . My development ideas are using a 375 caliber bullet and basing the cartridge on an action that guys are using 640 bolt face and 375 barrel ( cheytac) or the 416/ Barrett and 50 BMG action using existing gun with just a barrel change or rechamber , to allow us guys with smaller pockets to have a new super cartridge . brass that’s new and ready to shoot . Super easy and not to expensive and you are ready to compete. A case that has super long life , a load that sends 350/425 gr bullets in the 3250/3050 FPS range with consistent velocity and accuracy. That has been developed it’s a 2” 375 BMG (007-375). Is the name of this new cartridge . It uses 150/160 gr powder .reamer has been designed and made and is available for rent . brass is made I have been working on load developed for over a year now . Have data and info on this case . I would like to see some one competing with this cartridge !! See more info at mission shooting supplies. My other project is a 640 rim cartridge and is waiting on brass , reamer built , barrel an stock all put together . The case will hold a powder capacity right between 375 enabler ( I think under powered ) and cheytac which I think has a case fill ratio that Can’t be utilized with out over pressure. Slightly over bore. A great cartridge and lots of components avable and tones of load data . But I think can be improved upon . As we have seen lots of guys trying new improved / and necked up and down wild cats on this case . Any way that’s the fun of wildcats . I should have brass in days and will work up load data ya hoo!! Have a great new year !! Mike mission shooting supplies

I’ve started doing research on Ed and the 585 thanks . A 1,000 for a barrel reamer rental and some gun smithing is not comparable to 5,00to 7,000 for a complete new gun / scope ect ect . and you can buy a lot of reloading supplies and range time with all that extra money . And not all us guys who have a gun and cartridge like this will be on the front lines at king of two mile. Some may just want the greatest cartridge and bragging rights with there buddy’s and to be able to hit steel at a mile or better . I really wonder what precedent of guys that have big guns , say 338 improved , snip Teck ,ect , then 375 cheytac and all the variations ,and there are a bunch , then add 416 Barrett’s ,and all the big 50 s and there wild cats . That’s a lot more than are going to presue the top tear king of two mile type competition. I just want to have fun with my guns and new cartridges and have a great new option if I do want to complete at my local gun or Evan state wide I’ll have the gas money to get there . I’d like to spend a few hard earned bucks but not put a second morgage on my house and this makes it doable, thanks Mike -mission shooting supplies

The good thing about Ed is hes been there and done that. You dont waste money experimenting because hes already done it and he did it way back before it was cool. Just look at some of the dates when he was sharing info on benchrest central. Hes always helped out anybody that wanted it and that makes a huge difference

Young feller. You may have not been around long. Have you checked with JGS, Clymer,PT&G, and other reamer makers? I thought not. They will supply you with a reamer that you can keep for a small fraction of the $1000 you mentioned. Maybe a couple hundred bucks. Lots of reasonable brass out there cheaper than your Cheytac.
"I do want to complete at my local gun"
If you are really serious you will start with a Stiller, Bat or similar receiver. That is regardless of caliber. Your reamer and barrel blank will be the same price whether a 416-585HE or your Lapua Mag or Cheytac. Your stock and scope will cost the same. Powder, primers, and bullets are the same.
Sir, you need to research this much further and seek out the folks that have done it before making the opinions that you have posted.
Sorry my post comes off hard and gruff, but you need a lot more info before jumping into this.

I’m sorry you misunderstood my post let’s start over and I’ll clarify . first I use mason reamers and they are around 350.00 when you include go and no go gauges. That’s the purchase price ( my cost) The 1,000.00 I was talking about was for a reamer rental ,from me 60.00. the new barrel, and chamber by a gun smith .now you have a new caliber/375 . That is if you already have a 416 Barrett or a 50 call rifle. To be clear what I’m talking about is a barrel swap to another caliber that has the same base snd rim size as you existing gun .let me be very clear about this the gun that shoots my new cartridge ( 007-375 ) A -2” 50 BMG is built on an existing McMillan tack 416 retail cost 9,000.00 . To convert to 375 you need a new cartridge, a new barrel, a gun smith to chamber aprox 1,000.00 . or you could as you suggested build a hole new gun , or buy a new one 5.000-9,000 . This is not an experiment it’s done! my brass is built by RCC the gun shoots amazing . And it’s been a long time since some one called me sonney at 70 years old I do need my reading glasses . Maybe I’m not alone on that ! Part two , the new cartridge that has a cheytac rim size ( 640 ). Is in fact a new gun build for me . Stiller tack 408 1.45” action 30”-1/8” twist proof research barrel . Coustom carbin fiber stock and gun smithing by blagg rifles in penelton oregon and brass by RCC . this agin is not theoretical , it’s sitting here on my reloading bench! this cartridge has a rim size that’s compatible with the 640 size cartridges powder capacity is right between 375 Enabler and 375 cheytac 140/150 grs and agin to be very clear if you own a gun that has a bolt size of 640 for around 1,000.00 you could change change barrels , rent a reamer from me , rechamber and be shooting a new cartridge, that’s what I’ve been talking about hope I’ve cleared up any misconceptions for you thanks for for interest Mike

Butch, years ago, Jim Foster had a Remington 700 at New Braunfels chambered in 416 Remington Ackley Improved. You might remember it.

I got to shoot it. Once. That was enough.

To me your still a young "feller". You're 10 years behind me. As my Mother said "sonny boy".
If you already have this rifle, why all the BS that you are posting. It appears that you don't have enough for fuel to go to a match as you built what you were bit$hing about.
No, I wouldn't rent anything from you. I would buy a reamer from Clymer, JGS, PT&G, or Manson and buy a go gauge. I don't need no-no go as I don't chamber too deep. I would buy a "decent brand" barrel and chamber it. I do have an idea how this program works. I have built carbon fiber wood laminate stocks and like Brown Precision carbon fiber-Kevlar stocks if I buy a quality stock.
Sonny boy, don't try to school me on this. You would better spend your time learning how to use "spell check" before delving into custom rifles.

Jackie, at Tomball, who was the fellow that shot a big bore wildcat in VFS? He had a German name. Yes, Eric Klementich! check my spelling.
I was able to shoot a feller's 50BMG at Midland on the 1 bench long range close to the #1 bench on the BR range. It was fun, I took a second shot and crossfired on I think Jerry Hensler's practice target. He was not happy! Of course it was a heavy rifle with a clamshell brake. I did hit the deer silhouette at 600 yds.

Ok can I call you pops or old man no disrespect intended. So pops you are dead right about spellcheck I’m the worst at spelling and punctuation!! I’ll give you that . But you still missed the point . That being I’m not selling guns barrels or actions! Got it I don’t want your business for any thing . What I’ve developed is a new cartridge ( that’s the brass part of loaded ammunition) And what I’m saying is as an owner of a 50BMG , and Two - 416 Barrett one a model M99 and a McMillan tack 416 I always wanted to to have and shoot a 375 calaber rifle but though eather of these great cartridge would be very over boar if necked down . And there were no cartridge with that rim size I though were designed for that . and I didn’t want to spend 5/10,000 on a new gun . With me so far ?? So I developed a new cartridge that is based on a 50 bmg I’ve designed the cartridge and reamer had mason build the reamer and RCC make the new brass . And for about. 1,000.00 or less I can shoot 375 !! Yahoo . So easy so cheep I thought I’d share the idea . And all the design work and load data has been worked out so even an old coger like my self could up grade to a 375 . Lay off the spelling criticism and you might actually have some fun . it’s a new year how about some positive comments or as my daddy usta say if you don’t have something good to say don’t say anything at all . That said Let’s End this BS. Line of conversation thanks Mike

 

[butchlambert]

OK Mike, I sure can't add anything to this post. 50BMG based?
