The sooper dooper pig 300wsm project thread

[mikee]

Seems sorta like getting back together with a favourite ex-girlfriend, then buying her new breasts, butt, face and personality...not much left of the original!

yes but she will be "better"

[dannyb]

yeah ok...alright...so maybe, just maybe mind,the new forever smoke pole looks ok to cart around the hill......but Mate,just wait till you see my Howa in her sexy new dress.....AND she got blood on her today,the 3 x scope was just enough to remove neck of 80lb oinker at 80ish yards this morning....couldve done with a big pack horse to help cart it out...just about rooted me carting it to ridge top..... nope I will not put her on the scales....just like Maroline M...sometime big girls are more fun LOL...besides the .223 in her ugly dress is for the times I need lightweight......

I got some plans coming up for the stock to make her even prettier in the next few days......

Funnily enough I was just looking at that....anyone got any experience running 200gn eldx in a tikka 300wsm barrel ?
Or just swap em for 180gn NBT's may just do that I think, when I was originally working this all out I had factored a 1:10 twist barrel....oh well.

Because I'm impatient I've opened 1 box of the eldx already, so will give them a nudge anyway. If they don't shoot I can rehome them with someone I know who uses them.

200 - 208 gr Hornadys go sweet as in Tikka 300 wsm. Unsure about in an 19” barrel though. Plenty of people use Hornady 168 - 178gr to great affect. They don’t mind being seated deep to fit in the mag, with a large jump to lands.
Should be a great little banger.

Shot a few 200 eldx in a tikka wm years ago out to 750 yds no dramas, wasn't too hot either. Since sold rig so if you are after some. I think I've still got a near full box floating about

Would definitely be kedn if I can get them shooting, will get in touch after I've had a chance to do some load development

[striker]

the 11 twist should be ok, I use the 200 at 2450fps and its accurate. longer barrel tho

Stock update quick coat of marble effect duluxe and couple of coates of matte clear.
Its touch dry so can't torque the action back in yet but man I'm itching to.
Reckon it's come up mint

[dannyb]

Well patience never was my strong point.....

Looks the part. Where do you get that marble effect paint ?

[Kimber 7mm-08]

What model suppressor is that? is it a Carbon Stealth?

It's duluxe comes in a spray can (I got it from mitre 10 or bunnings), I would highly recommend practicing on a flat sheet of cardboard or similar first so you can get the hang of how it works. It comes out like silly string.
I did this in 2 very light passes in opposite directions diagonally 1 way for the first pass then the opposite for the second like an x.
I bought this tin about a year ago and there would be enough in a tin to probably do a dozen stocks I reckon. It wasn't particularly expensive either.
It also adds a bit of texture which on a carbon stock isn't a bad thing.
I would also highly recommend a couple coates of matte clear to protect it.
I cannot emphasize how quick an easy this was, literally took less than 10 minutes, other than drying time.
I think next one I do I might muck about with some copper color metallic paint and lightly sponge it on in a few places then do the marble coat over the top.....just an idea.

Yup, personally would have preferred a DPT but this came up pretty much as new for a price I could not pass up.

Look forward to hearing how it goes on this set up. I've got a 20 inch 300WSM that may need a upgrade at some point.

Shot it plenty on the 270wsm before rebarreling and didn't really notice any difference compared to mates Hardy or DPT to be fair.
