    First Custom Rifle- Thinking 22 GT

    Clark’s river wma is a collection of some neat terrain and areas, up on this end of I have chosen not to hunt it, too crowded. Thus far I’ve traveled for pigs. They’re supposedly working their way up the LBL, I know KYFW have been working to eradicate them and actively try to discourage...

    I haven’t received my barrel yet, I’m guessing I’m about half way through the expected wait time. I ended up sending in a dummy round I loaded up with the new alpha brass and an 88 eldm for them to match the throat to. i went 1:7 twist in hopes to not over spin the 77 TMK if i choose to go...

    That looks like it’s shooting pretty ok… which sizing die are you using out of curiosity?

    Thanks for the link Actually that post is what made me settle on 20” I figured if you’re getting 2900 with the 88 eldm, 3000 should be easy with the 77tmk. if, for whatever reason the 77 won’t shot in my barrel, the 88 is my next choice, bought a box just in case.

    First Custom Rifle- Thinking 22 GT

    Well, I’ve derailed my own plans a bit. Ended up deciding on a Tikka build. Partially due to availability, partially due to flexibility, and partially due to price. All parts and pieces have been ordered and/or received with some coming in already. Tikka LH stainless lite factory chambered in...

    Well that’s a bummer on case life, not insurmountable. Looking at case dimensions I’m wondering if the new 22 ARC will work in an AW mag with the HRD kit, I’d rather fall to the lower side of my FPS goal and save on barrel life than go way above and burn the thing up for no reason.

    The only reason I was asking about a brake was trying to be cheap. Literally everything other barrel not on a revolver or semi auto handgun I own is threaded and wears a brake. Im wondering now if I’d be better going 22 Creedmoor and loading to my 3000fps totally arbitrary goal? That should...

    Anyone with firsthand knowledge on barrel weights? I want to hit sub 3lbs on my barrel but HATE the look of shorter <.700” barrels. The .750 taper less option is another big attractant to PBB for me. their info on barrel weights is lacking at best. Trying to decide if the weight savings, if...

    Yeah I’d imagine, I didn’t think 223 would get a 77 that fast in a 16”. My only 223 experience was a 15” encore barrel but it was a 12 twist and wouldn’t even stabilize a 62 gr. Bullet. i think the GT is about 10 grains higher capacity than 223, so it should be able to easily do that in a 20” I...

    Im planning and acquiring parts for my first bolt rifle build. Prior to this I have been primarily a handgun shooter/hunter with bolt action pistols and T/C Encores and Contenders of a hundred varieties. Currently shooting a Kauger Arms Black Widow 16” pistol in 6.5 Creedmoor. Action will be...
