Is anyone game enough to put a .510 WSM on a new brake-action Bergara 45-70 B13? I.E. Like the SSK Thompson .510 whisper brake-action.
Thoughts appreciated.

@Kiwi Greg ?
At least trueflite make the barrel with a 1 in 9 twist for the subsonic. You could also ask the question to grant at trueflite .
1:9 is good. Thanks Friwi!
Yes they work very well :cool:Quote:

All sub-sonic, not interested in super, even though it would go fiarly well it would kick worse than a Mule, over 1900 ftlbs at the muzzle sub-sonic.
Its on a Tikka action, standard magnum bolt face.
Look forward to the write up on that bad boy, will be interesting to see the damage on animals with the Lehighs 725gr CF, should be plenty of grunt for even samber and waps.Quote:

Not too bad considering there has only been two groups smaller in the last two shoots, but it was perfect conditions to be fair.
I hope the new lot of powder shoots as good & the "better bullets" do their job :ORLY:
Not bad at that distance. Did you catch the rythm of the benchrest machinegunner in term of reloading and shooting?
Hey @kiwigreg how did you get on with this project?
Sold it ages ago, built two more recently, one for myself & one for a customer :)Quote:
