I have been going to make this for a couple of years and finally made it. Need to stain and seal wood. Who can guess what they are?

Dummy loaded round, one missing bullet is 338 JDJ



Parent cartridge, middle row is parent case necked up or necked down



I drilled and tapped the primer pockets. Will not fall off!

That is really neat.


Rod, too.

That was my guess as well. Not much experience with SSK's myself.

Short one I thought was a 338 whisper. I forgot to put it in my list.

Now that you mentioned it, the bullet does look bigger.

375/06, 35/06, 6.5 mini D, 375, 338, 338 Whisper, 309, 6.5, 257

The 338 Whisper is a blast to shoot. 300 gr bulling doing 1017 fps. Recoil is like a 357 mag out of the 14 in Contender.
