JP has the barrel chucked up in the lathe. Should be chambered in the next day or two!

What is that smell?
JP has it chambered. The new oil pressure system he designed and set up works amazing! He is so meticulous, it's incredible.

Well - the project is coming along nicely. JP (Fine Firearms) spent 2 days on the lathe building the rifles for our upcoming elk hunt and the hard work is paying off. He managed a test chassis so I could work up some loads while he finishes the second gun!.
We installed my rifle into the test chassis and mounted a 40X target scope on to see how well this new rig will shoot.
Below are the first 6 shots out of the new 30 Nosler JP. The second group measured .197" Still more work to do both loading and finishing the guns but so far so good.
Tomorrow we will chronograph and finalize the hunting loads.
So far the rifle likes the Retumbo powder and the 215 Berger Hybrids.
Stay tuned...

All the credit goes to JP @ Fine Firearms. And yes, addicted to the kool-aid.
The proof will be in the pudding when we send the 215 grain bombs elkward.
