Hi Richard!
I got a chance to shoot the X-Caliber .458 1-18 this afternoon. This stock really is hard to control. I don’t have a small enough front bag for this slim stock. This stock doesn’t have a beaver tail front end so its pretty tough to keep from sliding around but as you can see it’s a shooter! Same load as all my other barrels 73 grs of IMR 4198 and a 300gr SST with a wool wad and CCI Mag primer. Bullet sized to fit loose in this barrel it ended up being .4506
I have included some pictures of this M/L and some of the many targets from other M/L’S with Shilen barrels they all shoot better than most people can possibly hold them If you get a chance you can post these there were some people interested in how this X-Caliber would work
I have used Hornady 300gr SST with great results in Shilen ,Douglas and now X-Caliber barrels. Maybe Hornady’s like button rifled barrels better than cut rifled barrels I know they will shoot just as good as the Pittman and Parker bullets. But they lack the B.C. of the Pittman and Parkers. But for $25.00 a box the Hornady bullet can’t be beat.
I did get a few 300gr Pittman bullets to try and they shot really well out of my Shilen barrel. Hey Kyle that’s really a nice bullet that your selling keep up the good work!
