Never seen one like that before, very good find 6.
You can send up to North Dakota for the proper break in procedure. Oh, maybe send the required 10,000 rounds of ammo too.
No thanks needed, anything for you. 8)

Re: reloading questions on the 300 BLK

Appreciate the info. I was thinking Nosler 125 grainers at about 2100 fps in a 8"SBR. I wasn't sure if the boat tails would behave in this setup. With the right powder and a little over loaded you might get 2100. I doubt it, but :o Maybe 1800-1900. I haven't chronographed anything yet so I can...

Re: reloading questions on the 300 BLK

I've only used processed brass so far. Lee dies no problems, yet. I tried 17.8 grains WW296 with nosler ballistic tips out of my 10.5" pistol and groups were not quite twice as big as hornady 110 vmax load.
I haven't had anymore time to play with it yet.

Re: Guys, pieced together or not? 38/55 336?

I was pretty sure that the barrel markings were way earlier than 336's. And serial # didn't make sense either.
I'd pay $350-$400 for that gun just for the caliber, but $800+, I don't think so.

Guys,
Going through some of my stuff tonight.
What would be a reasonable amount of let's say .44 mag. 357 mag. or maybe 30-30 or even 30-06 and for giggles .45 acp.
I really think I may have a problem. :?:
Is 1000 each crazy? 2500? How about 5000+?
