510 Whisper Build Advice (Stock/Bottom Metal/Magazines/Twist/Barrel Length)

Hi all,

After my first and mostly successful foray into custom bolt actions with my 338 Lapua Improved build, it's time to start the next one. I have decided to build a 510 Whisper bolt action. I was wondering if anybody could help with some questions regarding parts selection for this build. So far, I have purchased the action, which is a Remington 700 footprint Long Action that supports 4.050" magazines.
  • Will 510 Whisper cartridges fit in a 338 Lapua Magnum AICS magazine? For my 338 Lapua Improved build, Fritz at Black Canyon Customs machined out the shoulder guides of my MDT 3.850" AICS magazines and I am curious if I would have to have something similar done for these to fit, if at all.
    • Is there any point to using 4.050" magazines that have a max COAL of 3.970"? I see that the 750 AMAX load on SSK's load data has a COAL of 3.620" and a standard CIP AICS magazine allows 3.740". It's always nice to have some extra room to work with, but if it is going to make everything else a pain, I won't bother.
  • Are there any chassis-style stocks (like the MDT ACC Elite or MPA BA etc) that accept 4.050" AICS magazines? I have not been able to find any.
    • If no chassis style stocks would work, what stock would you recommend? I would prefer to keep it at or less than $700 if at all possible.
  • What length barrel would you recommend? I am happy to SBR the action and go with a short barrel. I was looking at the SSK load data and they are using an 18" barrel. I think this is a bit long for my needs, as I was planning on developing my loads with Vihtavuori N110 and it is a very fast burning powder.
  • What twist rate would you recommend for a 510 Whisper? I see that Maker Bullets offers a 1000gr 50 BMG Subsonic REX and a 900gr 510 Whisper Subsonic REX that both have a recommended twist rate of 1 in 10.
Thank you in advance!

Rifle Scopes Blinded, Randomized scope testing

With all the vastly varying anecdotal reports of IQ between scopes, I think a blinded, randomized controlled trial of scopes would be very interesting. Because there’s some degree of objectivity and methodology in evaluating IQ, I think this could be very revealing.
Bias seems to be one of the greatest influences on individuals as far as I can tell. Whether conscious or subconscious, it can be hard to admit a $600 scope is optically close to a $4k scope.
Just like some people taste soap with cilantro or prefer different flavors than others, I believe vision is the same way. This may be obvious to some folks but it’s definitely not accepted main stream because people continue to argue to the point of insults (myself included 🤣) over IQ of scopes. In contrast, most everyone is in agreement that scope features are subjective, so no need to try and examine that. The test could be standardized to be blinded. It would take some effort but certainly doable. A way to make diopter, magnification and parallax adjustments without fingering the scope. The trial would need to include a professional eye examination and history as well obviously.

6.5 Addiction (Swedemoor)

Just had my .260 rebarreled in the 6.5 addiction and so far it's been an intriguing cartridge. I live out west so I was looking for a little more performance while trying to keep the cost down. So far this fits the bill!
I finally worked through fireforming a few hundred pieces of Lapua 6.5x55 brass so I loaded up a ladder with 140 rdf and RL26. The results were pretty wild. Started at a known load for this chamber with H4831 and went up 2 gr in .4 increments. Results (Lab radar) started at 3099 and got 3201 with the top charge! Had a heavy bolt lift but no ejector marks and when I punched primers they were still tight. 55 degrees out, defiance action and 26" Frozen Fiber (benchamark) barrel. I'll probably drop down in speed for better barrel and brass life but it was impressive to see those velocities! Hoping to get time this weekend to work on accuracy development!
I would imagine there are going to be a few guys playing with this cartridge. Hopefully we can get a good info sharing thread going for the Addiction as well as the 6.5 GWI/BJ-AI since they are similar.
