I was waiting for that - A cat! Rushy is clearly not reading this thread.

Just saying
Hey I just called my gun nut friend and it turns out I was correct, the hoojamaflick thingy was the one I meant!!! Twisty fingery hoodack. Comes off after the barrel comes off.
Well I battled the damn wind and rain to do some preliminary accuracy testing. Seems to like 55gr Lapua soft points. Best group I got with them was .6", second group was around .8". Fired 3 loads with 55gr Hornady pills - FMJ training, SP training and a FMJBT handload (25grs of 2206H). Does around 1.5" with those loads. Had four loose rounds of Winchester 64gr PP which shot like shit. Now to try some 77gr SMK's and 75gr Hornady BTHP's... I'm pretty pleased considering I was shooting at 4.5x magnification in shit weather. It's a service rifle barrel too - M4 profile, 1:7 twist and chrome lined, not like my RRA stainless truck axle barrel.
Here is my first 338 Norma on a 700 action with PT&G bolt.
Fluted 26" Trueflite UM barrel T3 Terminator brake.
It is bedded into a 700p stock with 5 shot mag.
Have fired about 15 rounds so far & it has nearly stopped fouling.
So far she is shooting the 300s 1/2 moa at just over 2800 fps :cool:

Nice
That is great accuracy Kiwigreg !!!
That's very nice KG. Looking forward to a hunting report at some stage. :thumbsup:
Damn KG that is just plain spunky. What does it cost you per round. Do you load your own?
I'm pretty sure depending on diet, KiwiGreg poops out ammunition.
you did it again dougie ha ha ! dont post here until youve got a toy to show of the fireing veriety :thumbsup:
I'm sure she fires Neckshot:P
Yep I load all my center fires, I don't have many factory chambers :cool:
That one would only be about $3 depending on bullet & case life.
Here is a pic from this morning at the range :)
