On friday I recieved a box from Quality cartridge and very calmly opened it.



Well to say the laest I am very excited to have the brass head stamped and now just waiting on the main order. RNS

Not the greatest picture I have taken. RNS

Very nice. I will send him some of my .378 Wby. basic right away for the same treatment.

Nice work RNS! It looks like it will be for real this time. Your wildcat cartridge is very admirable.

Hi RNS,
It looks like everything is coming together well on your project. When do you think you'll be load testing?
Best of luck with your project,
Dave

Thanks guys

Reamer is 3 weeks out
barrels about three weeks (need to get an update)
dies are about 6 weeks
The rest of the brass should be in this month.
bullets are pretty easy.

My action is on the way should have it in a week
That leaves the stock????????????????
And gunsmithing time
maybe by the end of December first of Janurary we could start load(pain) testing.

What action are you using?

RNS--thanks for the update.

As for actions, what are you going to use? I seem to remember you saying that you might go with a Montana action, but I'm not sure.

I'll be using an AHR modified, .416 Rigby length, CZ 550 Magnum. Plenty of room for three down in the magazine and the action also has some great features, like a custom trigger, three position safety and a straightened bolt handle with solid bolt knob.

I have ordered a CZ 550 mag action as well. The Montana is still a good choice but to far away still. RNS

I am looking into a second supply for the cylindrical brass. RNS

I talked to Dave Davidson on friday and he is going to start making the dies 10-12 sets for the first run. Remember they are going to be on a 1" DIE BODY if anyone needs a different size they need to contact him. Dave does not recommend a 7/8" die body due to having a thin die body. RNS

I got a update on the brass and it should be shipping in a week to Quality Cartridge. RNS

Good deal. Is that the stuff from Horneber?

Yes it is from Horneber. RNS
