Thread: New boomstick... what a bloody drama

Just doing some load development this morning... pretty stoked with this load, its nowhere near max but 2500fps with the 270gr speer and I think I've got the hang of shooting it now that'll do me!

That is certainly minute of deer Ryan

looks ready to put the brakes on a charging scrub bull
I imagine its very "lively" to shoot haha

So cool, bloody good accuracy. I love that you'll be using this as your main rifle

Two clicks to the left and go hunting, job done

That is assuming the camera was vertical and not the target...

I miss my 375, but to be honest, I do not miss the $8 per round ($160 per 20) to feed it..but it was a nice piece for kit. Someone on here has it now and I think they will be enjoying it....

that's impressive load development and shooting, sir. Especially given the recoil, no brake or suppressor.

Took me a bit to "click" with it but now I've got it mastered and the recoil doesn't intimidate me, just loaded up 3 more of the same and went back to confirm and shot similar group again so I'll load up the rest of my projectiles at that load and a hunting I will go

excellent-that's what my 416 does. Got the load data and group sizes from when I did them 20 years ago. dimensions suggest holes touching on my reloads at 40m mucking around.
The loads I had done were under an inch at a hundy.
375H+H is meant to be a pretty accurate calibre.
Good shooting

That's a power of energy out there with a 270gr bullet.Yr fallow deer will be roast mince of the spot.

Good work , not sure I would handle that shooting prone , you got a good shoulder obviously

take care when shooting prone. It might be ok today but you might feel a bit of a niggle tomorrow.
We'll expect you at our Big Bore Shoot when we get round to holding it again

Ill have a dig around and see if I have the specs on the P14 action. if you havent sorted the extractor problem Rayn.

your other thread......can you swap extractor over from the .303??????????

3700 ftlb should stop the meanest of wallabies as well.
