This is my first outing with Benchmark loads from 88 -93 grains. Pushing pittmans 303 HC Aeromax. As I get more familiar with her I am sure I'll be shooting better. I am positive I can't shoot to this guns potential Attachments:

Nice!! Not sure why you would have any issues posting on here. Everyone is welcome on this board. Just because it's not a Hankins I guess. But I can't stop holding it looking at it. Going to find something to shoot in her with maybe n120. Or even H4350 with 325 grainers |

Going to find something to shoot in her with maybe n120. Or even H4350 with 325 grainers Lots of guns here that Jeff didn't build, never an issue. your benchmark load with a 303 HC @ 92 grns is all you would ever need and will kill any animal you care to hit with it, even at long range.

The fact is, Jeff could never build all the guns on this forum. I build a few but get all the "metal" components from Jeff.
You have a nice rifle there!

McWhorter does make a fine rifle, so do others for less money, $6000.00 or $4000.00 or even less, depending on the builder, options and your pocket book. As Hank mentioned in a Youtube rebuild video Part 2 about paying to much for these SML ,,,, Lots of Good builders and more coming on line, (you can spend more, but you can't buy better)

I really like the gun and the pics. The video (audio portion) is questionable. Please proceed with caution.  |
