Greetings all!
I guess I've been lurking here long enough and it is time to now make a post!
I've been shooting the 300 Whisper (subsonic) from a 10-3/4" T/C for several years now in IHMSA. It won me a couple State and International Big Bore trophies. It's one hell of a good Big Bore round!
I've been handloading for almost 10 years now for conventional & several wildcat calibers for IHMSA and benchrest work on a Lyman turret press and as an IDPA shooter produce prolific amounts of 9, 40 & 45 rounds on a progressive press.
Over the last couple of years I've gotten BRD (Black Rifle Disease) and have built a couple and bought an RRA Varmint A4 as a bench gun and it has done an amazing job at making small groups.
I am FINALLY able to get one of JD Jones's 300 Whisper uppers. I met with JD two weeks ago and now have a custom 300 W upper on order!
I'm building a RRA lower with the national match trigger group for it. I haven't quite decided what type of glass I'm going to put on it, but do want a tactical optic in the 3 to 10 or 12x range. Likely will go with a 30mm tube and mil-dot reticule to take advantage of the higher level of elevation adjustment the Whisper needs when using both subsonic and supersonic rounds.
I very much look forward to contributing my experience to our group here with the Whisper upper and can't wait to see what kind of loads I come up with and how small a group it will print for me both in sub and supersonic modes!
Advice on any facet of my new adventure is greatly welcome & appreciated.
Thank you!
Best regards,
