My new .45 Cal Rice Barrel, and a new personal best Shoot. I fell in love with my 1-24 Twist .50 Cal Rice Barrel, And of course my 1:20 Twist Rice as well. In short, My Rice Barrels are my TOP DOGS I ended up ordering a .45 Cal in 1:17 Twist to go with them, A dedicated āLong Rangerā The Barrel Showed up Friday Morning, I installed a Lee Shaver adjustable front sight, And fitted the Barrel in the same TC Hawken Stock that the 1:24 Twist .50 Cal Rice Rests in. I group shot it Saturday Morning with 2 of Favorite Long Range .45 Cal Bullets, Both BACO Ellipticals (Paper Patch, and Grease Groove) Both bullets Shot AWESOME, about 3/4 to 1ā at 100 Yards. I loaded up Monday morning and headed for 1,200 Yards
The Video
After getting everything setup the Fog Rolled in and had me at a āStand Stilā I waited for nearly 2 Hours, it finally lifted and turned out to be a really nice Day
The Bullet i chose for this outing was my BACO .453 Elliptical, Lubed with my āModifiedā Bullshopās NASA Lube
Barrel stil in the White, Has a total of 8 Shots fired through it at this Point (From Sighting in at 100 Yards Saturday Morning) Itās 9th Shot was at 1,200 Yards
After the Shoot i came home and Cleaned the Barrel Good, Removed the Front Sight, Under Rib & Thimbles For Engraving & Hot Blueing, I just now got back with it from Engraving, Pictures arenāt the Best here and do it NO Justice, Engraving turned out AMAZING The Barrel goes for Hot Blueing in the Morning
With itās 1:17 Twist This is a TRUE āHOTROD Hawkenā I decided to Name it āEleanorā for the Shelby GT500 from the Movie āGone in 60 Secondsā
And lastly, Here are the 2 Bullets from Both Shots in the Video above, The bullet on the left is the Shot that hit Left, it was Damaged badly on the underside from a Rock, and the Bullet on the Right is the one that Hit the Steel Plate, If anyone thinks that these BIG Lead Bullets have NOTHING left on them at 1,200 Yards, You better Re-think that BIG Lead continues to be BAD @SS Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay Out there, Smashed Flat as a Razor, That is the Bullet Base you see, even the Sprue Cut
