I took the Genesis rifle, built for me by Goodsteel to the range yesterday with my hunting load. 358 Win, RCBS 200g over 3031. It is still shooting like a dream. There is not one single thing about that rifle that I do not like.119879

Glad you like it milkman. Definitely one of my finest creations, and very accurate too. That's the same load that my rifle likes best. Just remember to make the Boolits hard enough!

What speed did you settle on with that rifle? Mine was happiest around 2200fps.

Wow! My .358 Savage 99 is a good shooter, but surely not that good. Great cartridge and great rifle, I found 40 grains of IMR4320 to work well in mine with that bullet.

I'd say you are ready.
Any pics of the rifle?

Beerd-- If you go to the Special Projects forum and search for "Genesis Rifle" there are several pictures and a great write-up from Goodsteel

Goodsteel I chrono'ed them today and they are running right at 2250 fps. I am using 50/50/2% alloy water dropped and hoping it is not too soft for that velocity.

Ok, now no excuses when the pressure is on!

pressure causes a has-been drip to become an ExSpurt

Seeing the original thread with a quick response from Felix brings a calmness. Beautiful rifle and good shooting to boot

TCTex - deer and maybe black bear are the intended victims, but depending on how hungry I get my standards sometime get lowered,... but nothing is lower that possum !!

Sink that low, and I'll make sure your next rifle has a mother of pearl possum inlayed on it instead of a buck.
LOL!
