Dang that looks amazingly tasty
Oh man! You have me drooling all over the place. Looks Delish!
Best of luck with your cataract surgery, then you'll be able to see & shoot like a champ! Best of both worlds! And good luck with your new build!Yesterday I was perusing Mark Woodman's website and saw an Omega 45 cal smokeless capable nitride spiral barrel in stock (last one). It uses 209 primers and has a 1-24 inch twist rate. That twist rate will do just fine for me using sabots and probably anything else I might want to shoot in it. My hunting ranges are typically 30 to 100yds but can stretch out to 220 ydd or so if I sit over the cutover. Couldn't resist so I bought it. . I have an action on a barrel that is not in great shape along with a spare laminated stock. Since it's supposed to come with the plug, it'll be ready to go shortly after it gets here. Sadly, with this heat here and upcoming cataract surgeries it's going to be a while before I can shoot. Plenty of N120 on hand and 209 primers.
Thank you Dieselden454.

Welcome friend!Thank you Dieselden454.

I prefer steel over aluminium. I was looking at the steel Murphy base but I thought I would try the aluminium Talley base first. So far, I haven't any trouble with either one.Thanks LBA, I was looking for a steel base but nothing available locally. I'll check out the Talley. The one I installed is aluminum.
What is weight of bullet you are shooting ?1st chance I've had to try some of the Accurate 40 greasers (minus the grease ) in the lite blue Harvester sabot that I cast for a member here . I hope he has a 45 cal to shoot these like I did ! Zeroed @200 yds the 1st shot @ the gong said go for grouping so I did over 57 gr of IMR4198 then went to 57.5 (the winner) and am going back out to the garage and cast a bunch for Fridays shoot . The 100 yd group was boring so wasted no time there as I did not have a lot casted (pure lead) . I also had a buddy watching (2 shots before he ran off) ,came back later to verify my groups !
Windage issues are mostly handled with the front post site (no, not gonna go the full front/rear peep route, I have that for my Sharps).Everyone of these I see has only one screw in the mount. How do you maintain a permanent windage? How do you keep the base from pivoting left and right with only one screw? Looks like a strong breeze would knock it out of whack.
