6.8 SPC, 300AAC Blackout, 300 Whisper, and others I need to research.

 The 6.8 is factory brass reloading dies and bullets, 300AAC Blackout is a new cartridge I believe they said is based on the 300 Whisper which is a custom case and loading dies.

I sure do like my 450 Bushmaster. My buddy shot a big doe last year with his and hit her just behind the front leg, she hit the ground dead. When he field dressed her he couldn't identify her hart or lungs. Just one big bunch of hamburger but no blood shot meat going in or out. He was using the hornady FX 225gr. Kinda like a light bullet hot 45-70 semi auto.

How big does he want to go?  How about .50 Beowulf?

At the SHOT Show two years ago I made a joke to someone about developing a muzzle-loader top end for the AR-15.  He thought it was a "good idea."  Look for it soon...  There is already a conversion to use CO2 and pellets.

Mr old rattler,

  What information can you give me about AIC

Former Seller: WALI(116-0-0) Post#9 - Posted: 05/27/2012 at 18:25:23
WALI

What information can you give me about AIC

AIC, I  have known "Bradley"for several years, and, done business with him, many  times, aka...AIC, 

He is "crazy as batshit"( that is what I love about him) he is as honest as the day is long, he knows what the hell he is talking about, a better gunsmith, is not anywhere close to you, he charges what it's worth, and, it's worth it.

He will not rape you, but, will charge a fair price for a high quality result. Deal with "AIC" with complete CONFIDENCE.

 He gets an A+++++++ from me as far as integrity, honesty, and, high quality work. Many others here will second my endorsement. I don't give this kind of endorsement lightly. If you want it, he can do it. WALI...................................

bigvator; AIC  is  Bradley Hunt tele. & fax # 775-625-2413.

Alkali International Corp.

Winnemucca ,Nv.

Brad has built several rifles for myself and others on this site and as WALI said , he is good and he is fair and honest.

Give him a call and discuss what you want and go from there.
