Congrats RCS on your new rifle!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully what I have suggested for Mac will be of interest for you as well. Those books are good for anyone shooting a rifle...I got my Plaster book in 1993 and I still refer to it now some 16 years later....it is a great book...he was way ahead of his time. In 1993 he gave good info on the .338 Lapua Magnum and it was just introduced as our new Sniping rifle last year. I might well get the new updated version myself just to see what's new.

I have just got a .375 Chey Tac barrel put on a custom BAT action by Barney Lawton...one of your better long range custom gunsmiths...I need to get this pillar bedded to my McMillan stock and get some custom work done for a special bi-pod. This is just a "project" for me....but the cartridge has the longest range shooting ability of any on the market at present. It is capable of sustaining supersonic flight on the bullets for 2200 to 2500 yards...more at higher altitude....speaking to Lutz Moeller who has designed a new monolithic solid bullet for it. Lutz is the best long range bullet designer we have over here in Europe...but it will be interesting to see how this works out. It may be the next "future" calibre....improving the .50 Cal ability....we will see...but it is a fascinating "project" whichever way it goes.

Enjoy the 30-06 and let us know how you get on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
