I met him first on a anonymous imageboard.
He said, he was from Serbia.
By 338 wildcat I meant he used a .338 Lapua Magnum as a parent case for his wildcat cartridge. He didn't provide me any info on the loading but he did say those were extremely hot load.
I didn't save any pictures but I'm sure he still have those. I'll ask him if it's OK to provide his contact info to you.
I don't know how the barrel worn out in just 100 shots, the bore looked almost perfect on the picture but according to him, it started to lose accuracy. He was after building a 'record rifle' so he didn't care much about the barrel life I guess.
Also he said, he used an unique technique, his rifle aimed at target already and kept in place firmly by sandbags, the only part of the gun the shooter touched was the trigger at the time of firing.
