Thread: 30-223 build

Hi

You can never have enough unfinished projects on the go at any given time

So this is my latest endeavour; a 30-223 (or 30TCU or 30Apache or whatever you want to call it?), if you've heard of a 300Whisper (or one of the many clones) you'll know what the hell I'm talking about? If not, then it's a pretty cool little round which is made by necking up a .223 case to accept a .308 bullet.

The 30-223 punches above its weight in supersonic (a little faster than a 7.62x39) and best of all it can be loaded to shoot subsonic with heavy pills that ''go all day'' retaining much of its energy right out to realistic shooting ranges i.e. at 200m it will have way(!) more energy than its parent calibre the .223 would have.

So build to date:



Take one very shot out .223 Weatherby rifle


Strip it down and put it in a box with a heap of goodies to bolt together to make a rifle

And that’s about as far as I've got hahaha...but don't worry there will be more to come....
