Dave JenkinsRe: First Varmint for new Barrel
J-ro, Its a custom 25 cal based on the 284 case with a radius shoulder. I posted some more pics and some load data down under Single shot Rifles:

jethroCongrats Dave on what I assume to be your first varmint kill of 2004. I had a couple just like the one you got playing in the field behind my house. It would've been a fun 450+yd shot to take, but the baby was sleeping and the wife would have killed me had I woken him up with the crack of my 22-250. Oh well, there will be another day...
What caliber were you using?

Dave JenkinsThis fine fellow was mousing in the field beside the house this afternoon. He gave me enough time to take a solid rest on a round bale. He was standing broadside and I held the crosshairs of the 16x set Weaver on his upper shoulder. At the shot he took a few jumps and expired. The 100grn. Nosler took him low chest at what I later lasered to be 309yds.
