when you mess with the bull, don't cry if you get gored...

Y'see Boomie is one of the regulars here, and when you are rude to folks who have not ever done you harm, sometimes people figure that's how you go thru life, jerking other people around and expecting to get jerked around in return; so that's how they treat you.

Personally, and it is just me talking here, Stokeld has done himself a tremendous amount of harm as regards his business. Anyone who saw his rude, rather chickenshit flame job on Boomie probably came to the conclusion that he is some cracker jerk with no manners, and will not do business with him or recommend him to others because of the post. Others may admire his bold stand...

Sort-of like the twist thing going on between 500 grains and JeffeOsso. People side one way or the other, and Jeffe may not do any gunsmith work for either of dan's friends. He may gain business from others who figure he made the challenge and dan is ducking him...by his own admission here. Sooo, take a stand if you will, but be prepared to deal with the fallout.

Back in my brawling days I used to tell people "...I always try to give a man a choice, and then hold him responsible for the consequence of his actions...". These days I am much more mellow, I just suggest kindly as I can that they walk away while they can. Works for me!

JMHO, your mileage may vary...

I am not using soem made up screen name and some cryptic reference to my home address. I am one of the few here who is man enough to NOT hide behind their computer screen.

Boomstick-I don't know if it is me you think wrote soemthing insulting about you or if it was one of the others who chimed in. To the contrary, I encouraged free thinking. I also encourage people to listen to other's experience, knowledge, and thoughts, as opposed to getting so excited over their own ideas.

BoomStick-I will make a deal with you, and I am 100% serious here. If you get a barrel, dies, reamer, throater, brass, and bullets made for the .395, then I will barrel up your action for free (just the .395, not any of the other ideas you have had). I mean it-provide me with the action, barrel, loaded dummy round, reamer, throater, and I will donate the labor on this 80 year old idea you think is your brand new notion. Seriously, I will do it. I will not test fire it though-I will leave that up to you. I will also do other work needed to make a sporter if it is a military action (bolt handle, drill and tap, etc., but not square bridging or anything like that).

That would be a 328 grain bullet for .300 SD, to be more exact, and that is the only bullet weight needed, a custom order from North Fork or GSC, a premium soft and an FN solid of the same all-purpose weight.

Despite some old .38-40 Martini's having been slugged at .395, many people have been thinking about this "huge" 0.041" gap (.416 - .375) for quite a while, probably since 1912.

To split the difference between .375 and .416: It's time has come!

Until boom stick can specify his dream rifle to Timan, for a custom build, here is what I would do:

Neck up the .338 Lapua Magnum to accept the .395 caliber bullet and make the custom brass to be 2.720", trim to 2.710". The brass cartridge case design is now complete.

The chamber throating will allow long-nose seating the bullet to only have one caliber length of bullet shank grasped by the slightly greater than caliber length neck of the perfected case.

The action will be anything appropriate for the .338 Lapua Magnum or .416 Rigby, a magnum action. The .30-06 and .375 Ruger neckups can go in a standard action, with short-nose seating.

Barrel should be about .650" to .700" at the muzzle for the light sporter. Use a heavier fluted barrel if desired.

Stainless barrel for this new development, and of course it will have to be a 1:10" twist for those custom monometal bullets.

Synthetic stock like a McMillan or HS Precision.

Here's the .375 Lapua as an aid in visualizing the .396 SAM or .395 Aagaard cartridge:

Boom Stick, I really like the .395 idea and here's why. There's .041 seperating the the .395 from the .416, seems valid enough to me. A .411 anything will never ever take the .416 Rigbys lime light it just won't happen, The 404 is cool, but again it's not a 416 Rigby. Nothing agianst the 404 it's a fine round. I think most people just go straight to the Rigby and that's that's they don't have time for 400 this and 404 that, they want the rifle built and be on their way to hunt the game and get back to making a dollar so they can go again next year. To be able to offer a rifle that fills and frills is like having a full set of drills.
This is a true instance where at SCI Reno I was helping a man who wanted a rifle bigger than 375 H&H and was not into the Rigbys recoil,
He was over 60 years old, could have bought any rifle in the building 10 times over, didn't want a 404 because @ 400 @ 2100 and @ 400 @ 2300 aren't that much different for felt recoil. There's one example, I'm sure there would be others. More interesting though is the Idea of a 330gr bullet @ about 2650, that would be kind of fun. A .395 Lapua w/cat would be cheaper to make and still get the desired effect. What do you think the magazine box length should be for the .395 inbetweener, and would you rather go with a .750 or a .700 bolt.
Should this rifle be traditional or synthetic and stainless. Sounds cool to me, shit, I like it.

if you turn your own bullets, and you offer them for sale, you have to have an FFL AND ammo manf. license

Legal Requirements:
You will need to be clear of felony convictions, and a US or Canadian resident. In the USA, you will need to obtain a Class 6 FFL, which is $30 for 3 years, and entails a visit to your local sheriff or police department with FBI fingerprint capabilities. A small additional fee may be charged by the local law enforcement office for fingerprint processing. You will file the paperwork directly with the BAFT (instructions will be provided with the package). The business can be operated in a den, garage or home workshop provided there is no property covenant or zoning law prohibiting a mail order home business there. Licensing is usually a formality only, except in extremely "liberal"-thinking areas (Berkeley, California comes to mind). The usual license grant period is 60-90 days from the BAFT after submission of the forms. Most of the information on the form does not apply (hazardous waste production, for example, which is zero or below the threshold of interest and can be marked "N/A".

Imagine the properly headstamped .398 Lapua Magnum inserted between the .375 and .423.


There is a not so urgent need for a 398(.395) Lapua Magnum to fill that huge .041" gap.
