Bob Snapp, 90, the great Gun Craftsman, of Clare, Michigan, passed away Jan 28th....

He was an esteemed member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild, Being its president in 1992..

He liked working with Martini Cadet singleshot rifles. Worked with guys testing armor long time ago.

Maybe the 1st to do 20mm necked down to 50cal.

We lost a great friend,,,Ed

We fireform the 416 HSM with 65 gr of medium speed

surplus powder, with rest of case filled with farina

and grits mix, with a play dough plug in the neck.

It is loud, so we shoot it into big container through a barrel size

size hole, so the sound is muffled, so it doesn't deafen us..


It is great getting more companies making 416 caliber bullets,

long target and bore rider bullets. Ed..

20mm Vulcan is a big case that works ok, without having the sides made too thick...

They have thinner sides than smaller cases guys are getting that have the sides made too thick and won't extract easy or work with high pressures.

Here Barnard P Cheytac bolt that would do for our 416 HSM..Ed......

asking about one and the great line of 458 bullets CEB now has.
It will hold more powder than the 416 HSM.........Ed..

A shooter at our 100 yard range today...brought in his custom 47 pound bolt rifle, chambered in 375 ChevyTac; with a beautiful synthetic blue stock, blue barrel, outfitted with a massive blue muzzle brake.

He said: "Without handloading the round, the 375 ChevyTac costs $6.50 a round."

His "new toy" consisted of a periscope that he attached to the front of his Nightforce ocular lens; that increased the riflescope's vertical range by 30 mils.
