On the
450 Vincent Short the 458 AR is within 50 FPS of the short with it's 26" vs my 22"!!!
okay.. COOL... it works
I see a large number of the loads for the Vincent Short exceeding 2400 fps and at least 2 that exceed 2500...am I missing something?

boom sticki am surprised at the lack of congratulations to jeffe...
what gives...
the a.r. carts are a a success and a tribute to the forum and everything it stands for, guns, reloading, working together and only a handfull seem to care enough to post a congrats...the silence...i am perplexed
if you have done what he has done you would know how hard it is and how much he has put into this. if you have not well than tip your hats to the fella for actualy doing something.
am i off base?
i dont want to force fingers to keyboards here but if you admire the effort or the cahones to do what he has done let him know.
i part with the imortal and apropo words of a hero here
It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

jeffeosso577,
I don't build for the general public, at this time. I will in the future, and I know a fella that will do a chamber and bolt face for a good price....
Boomstick,
Actually, I am rather complimented at the ammount of responses. It's not like I invented the cure for cancer... just yet another way to run bullets down the bore. Many posters are in, and Frank is happy with the way his rifle is coming.
remember, wildcatting is a weird science!! The first STC hunt was originally arranged around bigbore wildcatters and friends, and has grown from there.
I am pretty darn pleased!! now get that bottle of scotch in the mail!!

gixxerHey Jeffe, it would be cool if you could post loads , and if you had the time, take pics of some targets for the fav loads forum. Time willing of course. BTW I expect nothing less than .500" groups @ 100yd with the 470!!

gix,
I'll be posting loads on my website, with the huge disclaimer/rider on it.
We (KN and I) are hoping to pop off a couple on the 470 today, which will be 80 days from thought to all firing.
Was over at Hunting Cat's shop yesterday, were he barreled it (I am having trouble with my lathe in the threading gear box) and we stuck it on a NEW ruger 77mkII that had been 7rem.
went on slicker than hot honey
well, after hours and hours and hours of .. (heh) ... of feeding work (okay, so it was SHIPPING time) .. the new rugers feed these things like a hungry coondog. ZERO, i repeat ZERO work required to make them feed perfectly... 2 down, one off the top .. should be a small thing to close the bolt over the 3rd one, but that's a next week project.
she'll go bang today!!

gixxerThat is very kickass!! More thoughts on recoil would be nice too after you shoot em all. Not that I am overly concerned, but I have not shot anything bigger than my 375 RUM.

Want to start a list of names in the event we can get enough interest to get some basic brass made, maybe even headstamp etc.......your thoughts.
I'll be in Houston this weekend, may have some time if your going to be around.....pretty sure my girlfriend has to work on Sat.
I see from your signature you've been listening to her a lot! You need to get away and get some perspective, LOL.
Why don't we get it stamped "AR 4156780" and like the true Bubbas we are, we can get the ole Dremel out and grind off the numbers we don't need?
Harry..........its not the girlfriend........I'm just quite taken with myself........lol.....She put my cowboy ass on the street about 2am the other morning...........lol.........but I'm back in good graces today. As far as the numbering system..........you think we could just take a file and scratch the numbers off we don't need............I don't have an engraving tool...............lol

Gringo CazadorJeffe,
Box diam that I owe you.
pretty sure its Ultramag box, from Sunny-Hill I didnt use. I can't find the reciept to know what bottom metal it came off of, I used the factory win box, this thing is huge as far as I'm concerned, I stuck a 404 jeffery in it and it had qtr inch to spare.
all diam inside
F-.918
R-.978
L-3.815
Looks like it would hold 4 ultramags down.

Paul HJeff,
Thanks, and congrats again! Definately a great way to ring in a new year.
I just need to find an M77 7mag donor, and finish the boat so I have room to get a 13X40 lathe in the garage, then I'm thinking switch barrel 416/470 AR
