    Genesis handle recoil? Not break?

    Interesting info! I was unaware of so many lightweight 50s And hadn't thought of comparing Lou's big 40. I'd spoken to Lou about the 338 experience. I haven't spoken with Turk nor Eric Stanton I guess I'll bolt 'er up and go :) Thank You All

    Genesis handle recoil? Not break?

    Couple yrs ago I had a Genesis mounted on a big 338 and felt it was not repeating.... I posted here and also called Deon. A nice lady at Deon told me that "the Genesis system is very robust and you can throw anything at it" I took it off the 338 cuz I couldn't make it shoot. So now I'm in a...

    bullet stability question

    The guns I'm building will hurt you very badly if fired without the brake. One of the things I've recently filmed (I don't think it's released yet) is an experiment with clamp-on brakes, one on a 16lb gun and one on a 22lb gun...... fired only on the recoil sled. The same 16lb gun I fire in the...

    source 2"-2.5" tall scope rings

    I'm building some rifles which use shellholder boltfaces and I've built catches for them...... tubes into which the bolt slides instead of being thrun into the weeds..... Consequently my "cheekpiece" is about 3/4 inches above the cl of the bore. TALL picatinny rings stout enough for 250ftlb...

    bullet stability question

    If you really are interested I'm documenting the entire project on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wED5GAULMVM At this point in time I'm pretty wrapped up in using the 50BMG to illustrate/prove/validate many of my beliefs about accuracy. I set myself a challenge with three...

    bullet stability question

    I'm not sure if it helped or not :) I got three different answers. One said "this bullet is stable" "corrected parameters twist rate 12.527" And one said "corrected twist .7679/turn" I know all the parameters but not sure about "pressure"...... all sorts of ways to measure barometric...

    bullet stability question

    So I'm deep into some 50-cal work. Building 2 50BMG Match Rifles, some hunting guns and re-opening my old 50 Fart project. I've got 50cal barrels and cutoffs lying thick on the ground Back when I spec'd the original 50 Fart, a subsonic 50 using 10"-16" barrels to push 750-924gr bullets I...

    OK..... so this just posted up on youtube today. For me it's a blast from the past because I recorded it over a month ago before the rain stopped. It made me shibber and grin this 95* day in the PNW. This is where I'm concentrating my efforts right now, doing something which has never been...

    I'm not a SOT but I've several close friends and neighbors who are. A couple of my kids and 15-20 friends are shooting suppressed.
