That's one hell of a project.

Already been a fun exercise. The rifle so far likes the 180gr Nosler Partition Protected Point with a top load of CFE223. The decrepid old barrel will do 2610fps and under moa. A handful are loaded and it is zeroed for that.

The 4 odd formed cases where shoot today. All worked fine and are not loaded with a top load to test again. That .240wby "pooched" out above the belt to fill the chamber as would be expected.
The lesson in it is that I could use them if had to, will probably stick with others as a failure would tie the rifle up for sometime.

In the "Feed it with anything you find" arena, those 4 formed cases where fireformed with Unique powder salavaged from some 20+year old shot shell reloads and the bullets where some pulled 150Speers from some odd un-know origin reloads, as where the primers.

Must be one hell of a winter too! What altitude are you at there?

Yes it is, tiring for a old guy like me. Snowing again tonight. My home is at 5000ft, turn west out of my drive and it is all up for an hour to the Pass at 9666ft.
