Will these 1 in 7 barrels be able to also shoot supers as well and with the same accuracy? We are assuming so... since Bison says their BSP does as well... with 1:7 twist. We'll have to see but they publish in writing that they're BSP 1:7 barrels will shoot 6.8SPC subs and supers so we see no reason why it wouldn't in the Wolverine. Especially since velocity is a tad bit less in super with the Wolverine. Now, that being said, if you somehow try to push a 75 grain frangible at max load I would say that perhaps you may see some issues with that. Don't know for sure, though. They say it works fine, so again we assume it will, too. We will have to see. |

Sometimes 22lr can overstabile and spin apart, or maybe with really fast chamberings (eg weatherby etc) it is diffent, but there really doesn't seem to be any detriment on accuracy in overtwisted barrels in many applications. Anyway OP, that is cool that COAL w/ some 150 g bullets isn't a limiting factor. IMO, a select fire SBR that could shoot ca 150 g subs and instantly switch to 277 supers w/o a better all around gun than 300 BO. It woudl be more like a 9mm SMG to med power assault rifle w/ better external ballisitcs and less recoil. Of course, that is not to say the the chambering isn't already excellent as a dedicated supersonic. Congrats on the SAAMI submittal |

If we can get the 180's to run well, and get a better supply of them, we'll be golden. I now I can load the 180's within COAL/mag restrictions, as I have made a couple dummy rounds already. There's still enough room for enough powder to push them as well. How they will actually perform is the unknown. But, we'll know soon enough. |

180s? I read 150's. Cool.
You say the 150's worked. Do you mean they were accurate w/ the standard twist or that when loaded to like 1000 fps cycled the action of a gun previously set up to run supersonics? |

The 150's ran through a 1:11 twist barrel with the port opened up a little bit. This was on a 10.5" barrel. The supers were not severely overgassed following. I don't want to put out raw numbers (port sizes, etc) until we get it all figured out. The 150's through the 1:11 showed a few rounds starting to keyhole at 75 yards. That's expected. In the 1:7 twist we doubt we'll see any of that. Once we get the 150 loads and 180 loads settled, and experiment further with the gas port size, we'l know how easy it will be to switch from subs to supers. |

Thought I would give an update on our first Savage pre-fit build. Here you go:
Finalized the 100AB hunting load today. I also took some pictures while I had some decent light. Bullet- 100AB Case- LC 10 Powder- A1680 Primer- 450 COL- 2.220" Trim- 1.535" Temp- 75 Shell Holder- +.010" neck, and body only, no shoulder bump 24.4gr. Accuracy- .75" 1-2789-av-2788 2-2789-es-29 3-2777-sd-11 4-2772 5-2801 6-2801 same load, OAL was increased to 2.230" 24.4gr. Accuracy- .5" 1-2772-av-2760 2-2754-es-23 3-2766-sd-9 4-2749 5-2760 This thing is a pleasure to shoot. Very light recoil, and muzzle blast. I shot it once without hearing protection (forgot to put them on) and it did not make my ears ring or head hurt. I was quite surprised. I do believe 2775 will get the job done with the accubond. Its not but a tick slower than my pet load for the 16" SPC. I was able to get velocity over 2800, but accuracy starts dropping off before you get there. The trigger on the axis is pretty nice, and adjustable down to around 3.5lbs. If you have kids, or if you or your wife are recoil sensitive, then this would make them a fine hunting rig for not a lot of money.

Dropping that final .2grns showed some irregularity IIRC. Went as low as 10.5 & retained functionality with proper port size. Secondly is the tighter twist will help with uniform pressure build on the SRP cases. LRP may be more forgiving in consistency in the lower charges but the 1/7 will definitely help & may be enough to get 11.3 to work with standard port size. Time & testing will tell. |

Thought I would just drop off these pics to provide an update on what the WLV has been up to besides dropping deer, hogs and varmints all over the country.
Beautiful part is, minimal alteration was needed to convert it form 5.56 to 277 Wolverine. The first WLV SAW barrel itself has been chambered and rough turned; should be up and running shortly.

16" and 18" are due in any day now. Just waiting for the shipped notice and invoice. Broke a reamer, caused a nasty delay. Back up now.
Vic - we didn't plan to do 20" but will probably get a batch done since folks have been asking for them. The 20" Savage we put together gets 2800fps with a 100AB. Not that the AR barrel will match that, but that's a ood number! It will probably still be mid-length gas, though. |

I hear ya, but the cartridge might not like a rifle gas system without a port the size of Kentucky. |

Just bought a spikes receiver set for a song at the gun show. Just started reloading and cutting brass for 300 blk (so I'm not all that scared of it any more)... barrels for a .223 wildcat at $150? I think I need to read the rest of this thread to see how this compares to 300 blk and maybe I'll grab one if these barrels barrels tonight.
While I intend to read this thread tonight. Anyone wanna give me cliff's notes on how it compares to 300 and, further, how viable it is for hunting small to medium game? |

[#37]
It's better than the .300 on velocity and energy. It can be made subsonic as well with the proper barrel/twist. Do the research. Check out the website/forum mentioned above for maddogweapons.
With careful reloads, it rivals and virtually equals the 6.8 spc except that you can use everything else you would for 5.56, except barrel. It is an awesome little round that is surprisingly bigger than its britches. Just remember that you will not have excess with it, but it is just right. It excels in the up to 200+ yard range for hunting. |

If you don't want to modify brass you have a couple options... You can get pre-done once fired from JBFA IIRC for $150/1,000pcs. It is good quality & they ship quick if in stock. If you have brass yo can send it to him & he will do it for you. I don't do my own brass I just let him do it.
Visit the WLV Forum & look around. |

I think I'm gonna have to go for it. Worst case, a quick barrel change ans I'm back to 5.56 or 300 blk. What's to lose?
Edit: op. Any way to still get that $150 promo on the 18" barrel? Is be happy to purchase that and a set of dies right now. PM me please |

My prediction is it will become your favorite cartridge. With all the neck earring of 556, just buy 277 pills & powder & keep on trucking. I just got my 18" in the other day.

Well, I'm all in ay this point. Barrel, dies, and bolt purchased!
Time to find some reloading data. I hope at least one of the powders I have will work until I can find something optimal. |

Thanks
I already load these in 6.8 SPC so was curious. What powder ? A1680 ? |

If you have 1680, it is like gold in the .277 Wlv.
I have not been able to put my hands on any for testing, but those that have it, have had really good results. |

Well hell! I've decided to put my 6.8 SPC stuff up for sale.
Mark, I've sent you an email concerning an 18" barrel. |
