NEW MCGOWEN 40 CAL.

[cvilorio1]

Well guys after waiting almost 8 month for the barrel to get done, and a few hitches here and there, she is finally here. I got her yesterday and threw her together last night. The stock that you see in the pic is not the one that she actually end up in, I just took it off one of my 45 cal. and put the action in it. The wait was well worth it. This is a .400x.408, and the bullets have to knurled up a bit. Took her out today to sight in which I probably have to again as soon as I get the other stock, but any way she shot great. Still have to work on some of the knurling specially the Barnes so I can get them a bit tighter, but the SST's shot great. needless to say I'm happy. I' still working on some loads since I want to get her to about 2800 FPS Here are some stats.   
MCGOWEN/REM 40 CAL.
DNZ MOUNT
LEUPOLD VX-R 4X12X40 CDS FIREDOT
SST'S 200 GR.
BARNES 195 GR.
CEB 240 GR.
10/50 CHARGE OF 4759/10X (BY WEIGHT)
VELOCITY 2720
36 CAL. WOOL WAD
FED 209 A PRIMERS
100 YRDS SIGHT IN.
 First shot at 100 yrds was high as you can see, I move the scope down and right, the next group was to the right of bull,adjusted left and went a bit to far that is the one by itself on the left side of the bull, I adjusted back right and she was dead center three shot. The bottom right were the Barnes, and the bottom left were the CEB's. Still need a bit of tweaking, but I'm happy.

Love it! When you get bored with it, shoot me a pm.. :lol:

CEB?? I don't know what that is.
Whatever it is, it looks like your gun likes them a lot .. better than the Barnes.

That's a beauty of a rifle and great shooting as usual. That rifle turned into a real tack driver. Good luck with it. :shooter:

Carlos, Is that a 700ML action?
Also, what is the second front sling attachment for? A bipod?

Those are the ones that no one could get them to group. They are 240 gr. CEB's .400. If you look at the pic they are the ones on the left bottom.

Yes, the gun was built on a 700 ML action, the second stud is for a bipod.

I would sell a 45 cal. before a 40 cal. I just got spoiled by the 40 cal., no recoil and they are devastating on game.

[ericcosh]

These CEB's are custom order if I recall correctly.

So how are you shooting them with no sabot, knurling them?
