Feeling super thankful of this #cerusrifleworks, #cerus Stock that Will Mccloskey put together. 7 Layer, 4 carbon fiber stringer Spalted Maple Bubinga/Wenge/Maple Burl hybrid forearm blue pearl resin. F-Open XL. Will’s creativity is shining through... so cool that someone takes the time and puts these creations together.
I had my good friend and gunsmith Omar Alonzo, Alonzo Custom Rifles to complete the build. Omar did all of the metal and finish work on the Cerus Stock, Borden BRMXD action. I had to copy this action from Erik Cortina. His action was super impressive when Erik shared how slick the Borden action is...
Omar met me at the range this past weekend to pick up. I had intended to “just get rounds down the barrel and Fireform into Shehane brass. I borrowed Peter Johns reamer to have Omar chamber the barrel. So I just loaded up ballpark based on what PJ said and added a bit. We put on the scope in the back of my truck and checked my dummy round to see how it fit. I brought my seater in case I needed to make adjustments. The lands lightly printed on the bullet. We figured it was 7-10k light jam. With the light load we figured it was good enough to form the cases. The match was out Mid Range club Match. I didn’t have any expectation as I was just forming brass. Based on other shooters comments with known load of 4831sc 54.0 grains seemed to be the common known light load to form cases.
I shot the match really no expectations I was just happy to be shooting this new beauty. At the end PJ and some others asked how I did. I really didn’t know I never looked at scores. I knew my x count was low for a 600 yard match. But I was fortunate enough to hang enough “Big 10’s’s to win.”
