Finally got one

Recommended Posts

For the last three and a half years I have wanted to get a .243wssm upper for my AR from a company called Dedicated Technologies, but there is a 14 month backorder on his uppers. Finally a couple weeks ago I found a guy selling one here in AZ and jumped on it. The entire gun weighs ten pounds with the scope and will shoot a 55 grain 6mm bullet at over 4000fps. I worked up some loads this past Sunday using 87 grain vmax bullets with a bullet coefficient of .400 and some RL17. My book shows this round to be right around 3200 fps. If this upper works out for me, I plan on ordering a 300 wssm from him. David

I was always curious about those wssm uppers. Pretty neat. Check out wssmzone.com for wssm info. I have a m70 in 223wssm. Potent little buggers.
