100 yds.

Hand loading makes a huge difference in this gun (if you neck size only). The chamber must be a bit large. When I neck size only 1 less round fits in the clip!

Accuracy goes up by a bunch!

I'll bet if I fed it factory ammo I would not be impressed with it at all!
Interesting, I wouldn't have thought factory loads would be so inaccurate. I've been wondering if its me not getting steady enough when shooting 200-300yds, it probably is to some extent.

Right on!

She’s not but he is?

.260 Regular
R700 Printed with a PTG bolt.
Hawk Hill 1:8 .264”
McCheese HTG(?)
Badger Base & bottom metal.

The barrel is going on a diet: I’ve already had it cut from 26” to 24”. There is a wizard who claims he can flute it without causing the groups to grow: we’ll see.

Nice rig. Shawn makes fine barrels for sure and a heck of a nice guy.

Hand loading is all about tweaking specifically for your rifle: it’s akin to Porting in that you try to wring our all you can get.

SAAMI specs are followed for the most part by manufacturers but some bullets like more jump than others, & there’s always a feet per second sweet spot, (node), a particular bullet likes.

Like others, I’ve got more stuff than time.

My bad I read your post wrong I guess it did say. I saw 450 and thought yardage that it was sited in for. What kind of rifle? It lools like a Thompson.
It’s a ruger. It’s sighted in for 150 currently. Never really shot anything over that before. I move around a little to much.

That's cool I didn't know that Ruger had a chambering for a 450 bushmaster. I'll bet it's a real thumper up close!

I load my CVA Accura MZ with a saboted 250 gr 45 cal bullet at about 2,000 FPS, so similar to the Bushmaster.

It is very effective on deer.

Makes me feel like I'm hunting with an old Buffalo Rifle … only 1 shot, but big bore and accurate!
