I got the rifle and did load development based off of George Gardner’s recommendation for a starting load. The load ended up being 41.7gr of H4350 under a 105 Berger Hybrid in a Hornady 6mm Creedmoor case with a CCI BR2 primer. 10 shot string over a Magneto Speed V2 was Avg. 3064 fps, ES 18, SD 5.

I’ve only had it for 2 weeks and I took it to the Oklahoma Shoot for the Green match this past weekend and got hits at 1173 and 1300 so I’d say it’s working.

All of the following targets were shot on the same day. Only had time to shoot at each distance once so here are the results.

This is a 9 round group at 100 yards. My aim point was the 6.5mm hole I am pointing at that I shot with my .260 just prior to this.

200 Yards 2 shots just to check come up, 1" orange dot.

300 Yards 3 shots just to check come up, 1" orange dot.

500 yards 5 shots 10" Square

800 yards in BAD mirage, 10 shots. Really not a good group but I wanted to show everything not just the cherry picked ones.

24* Diamond (square on point) at the OK Match 1173 yards, First round impact.

1300 yard Elk silhouette with a 24* red square that was the target at 1300 yards. In 20 mph cross wind, it took 6 Mils of correction for wind and I got a second, third and fourth round impact.

Your right! My bad! My eyes picked up KMW and I got all excited!!

 

[jcomar1]

Wow. That's incredible.

Thats a fine rifle you've got there. I've got a .338 lapua build with William at Louisiana Precision Rifles, it's been a long wait but from the pics of his other builds and the quality end result it will deff be worth the wait.

freedive10,
I clarified the post to reflect the builder as I only ordered the stock from Terry. Most of Terry's work is agency / LEO / Mil contract builds but he actually does do production runs in between agency orders in certain calibers. Basically he builds whatever he wants and puts them up for sale. So you will get a rifle in a KMW SENTINEL in whatever caliber he wanted to build and in the configuration he chose. AFAIK YOU DO NOT get to choose ANYTHING such as length, color, caliber ect. Building for the public is a real pain in the ass as the average guy orders a rifle then 2 weeks later is asking how is the progress coming along. When in reality the PARTS ALONE are 6-9 months out on actions, stocks and barrels THEN you get in line for the build which could be another 6 months or more. Most people do not want to wait that long as they want instant gratification. Couple all of that with the phone calls from individuals checking status and wanting to change their order every week that keeps the builder on the phone and away from the lathe doing actual work it is just not worth it. So in short you may be able to get one but plan on waiting 1-2 years and you are going to get what you get.

bjb550,
William only knows how to build rifles one way, which is the correct way and he only produces one level of rifle which is top notch. Rifle building is not his primary job, as he does such on the side, so you may have to wait a bit but it will be 100% when you get it.

I cleaned the bore last night in preparation for a match this weekend as it had been 283 rounds since the last cleaning. I always foul my bore before a match as your first round on a clean bore usually has a different impact than a fouled barrel. The first high shot was the clean bore then the next 4 in the cluster. The 4 shots measure 0.205" center to center. 1" orange dot. This isn't a cherry picked group as it was just what I shot today and was witnessed by another member. I posted this not to try to brag but to show what the potential of a properly built custom rifle can do. If you have a custom built gun built the correct way 1/4 MOA is normal. If all you want to do is kill deer at < 200 yards then this is excessive.

 

[Kayle]

How long was the wait time for the build?

 

[Barney88PDC]

Wait time on custom builds vary based on what parts you want or are available. If you have to order a stock your looking at 6 months just for the stock to come in. 6-9 months is not unheard of. If you have all the parts in hand and "you know a guy" it could happen in 1-2 weeks. It really just depends.
