Rebirth of my C3a1

[Kodiak99317]

Have you tried 43g of 4064 yet Mike? Should get you a little more velocity... or even 41g of N540 or 45.5g of N550 or 47.8g of H4350 with these 175's?

Maybe once the pile of Varget is gone I will try something else. Too bad you are not coming out, it's a blast!

Man that's a nice looking rifle!

Found out that my old 46.0 grain varget recepie that worked fine with my factory barrel/chamber Remy 700 ain't such a good combo when applied to a new match chamber. Some interesting pressure signs, and so I backed off in testing down to 43.0. Slightly tamer, and some sub 1/2 MOA groups showed up in testing, now with a big batch done up, we'll see how it really performs.

(BTW, nice C-3A1 clone. Looks pretty sweet!)

Isn't the action the same as the PH 1200? I've got a PH 1200 in .300 Win mag that uses the same 5 rd detachable mag as the C3. I was kind of surprised when I looked at a couple of the C3's at my unit that they used a long action.

It would be nice to build a C3 clone in .300 Win Mag.

That's a nice lookin' bolt handle, almost thought is was Badger Ord unit that you had checkered.

Pretty much the same receiver, different mag assembly though, if memory serves. - dan

VERY well done Mike.

Is this what you are shooting at the Match this year?????

SKBY.

 

[Parker-Hale Mike]

That's what I shot last year, I just refurb'd it to breathe some new life into it. I may have my M40a1 clone done in time......have to shake the money tree!

Nice you should see about getting the Unertl C1 scope.

 

[Parker-Hale Mike]

If the C1's weren't such shyte I may have considered it. I prefer the high magnification with the 25x though.
