I have a Marlin 1894 Pre-Safety in 357 Mag
I have shot one deer with it 127lbs dressed
Punched her through the lungs at 75 Yards and she ran about 70 yards and piled up.
While effective I would not take it past 100 yards. And if you will be using 158gr XTP Make sure you buy the Flat Point XTP...
Buy the 450 Bushmaster and go with the AR15 Magazine setup much easier while i have the AICS feeding they are still not perfect but ill keep at it. Unless you will be using this with Lehigh 570gr Subs then you would need the AICS mags.
I just measured mine with the Magpul stock the shortest...
I have MDT 3rd 300WSM/6.5PRC magazine working just get yourself a feed lip adjustment tool so you can bend the feed lips i have mine set at .488" in the rear and the front is .486" that is the distance between the feedlips most of the time you have to adjust these mags i will be test firing...
Im finishing mine now mine was a LH 6.5 Creedmore the only thing is you can not run AR15 mags unless you start out with the 450 ranch rifle.
The bolt is not cut nor is the action to accept ar15 mags on the Standard 243,260,6.5,708,308 rifles
Im having good results with the MDT AICS 300WSM/6.5PRC 3rd Mags the 7rd Mag is having issues. the 3rd looks promising. Ill report back when i get to the range to test. For the 7rd Mag I was thinking of making a binder plate in the front of the mag and cut the follower but id have to find a...
I have used this one for a while works great and very reasonable for how good it works. Don’t waste your money on an action wrench.
I will be using this vise and a 1-1/4 crowfoot so I can torque the X-Caliber nut. I used an old Remington 700 action wrench on the factory nut...
Nice Shooting !! You shouldn't have any unburnt powder with the 325FTX and 29grs of Lil-Gun , CCI 350 @ 2.150" COAL. That load seems a bit light for the 300gr Bullet. Im getting an Avg of 1802 FPS out of my Tromix 16" AR with no pressure signs so the bolt action will be fine.
458 SOCOM Suppresses very nicely. Not my vid but I'm building one on a Lefthand Ruger American with AICS Mags in a Magpul Hunter Stock. I will have to open the action up above the feed ramp so the fat case can fit through also I'm modifying the Magpul Stock they don't make one in Lefthand
