Good morning everyone. I had to wait several days before writing this as my heart is broken and my world is shattered. My beautiful and loving wife passed away a few days ago due to fighting cancer for almost the last 2 years. We made the trip to Duke cancer hospital 47 times for chemo treatment, scans, and lab work. Each trip was an 8hr round trip. For those of you that have been trying to reach me for r***e builds, I apologize but I couldn’t leave my wife’s side. Taking care of her was my number one priority. She was definitely a warrior and fought hard all the way to the end but now she’s no longer in pain or suffering and in the arms of our Lord.
My wife loved to shoot guns and every ELR shooting match I attended she took pics of the shooters to capture that special moment for them that’ll last forever. I want to say thank you to everyone that helped and prayed for us through those extremely difficult times. Please keep me and my family in your prayers.

Congratulations to Justin Wolf on winning King of 2 Mile ELR match!! Justin has been a customer for several years and also this is his 2nd time winning KO2M with a Vestal built 416 Hellfire. He was the only shooter to hit the 2 mile target (3529yards) on his first shot and only two shooters actually hit that particular target!! Awesome shooting sir!!

Congratulations to David Randolph on his 1st place finish this past weekend at the Thunder Valley Precision ELR match in heavy gun class using his Vestals Custom Ri**es built 416 Vestal using 550gr Cutting Edge Bullets!! He sent me a pic of his Garmin a few days before the match saying “I think I may be onto something”. He was right!! 😉💪

Good morning everyone. Haven’t had much time to work and/or post pics due to taking care of my wife and running back and forth to the hospital for chemo treatments, labs,scans, etc. Just finished this big monster. Here is what 16,415 ft-lbs of energy looks like. 700gr bullet at 3250fps from the 460 Vestal!!

There’s seems to be some confusion on the 458 Vestal & 460 Vestal. The pic below will give you an idea of the differences between the two. Left- 460 Vestal, .710” boltface (almost .750” base diameter) and pushes a 700gr bullet around 3250fps and uses BMG primers. Middle- 458 Vestal, .640” boltface (same as Cheytac), however with a base diameter of .700” I highly recommend an action with a tenon size of 1.250” minimum, and pushes a 700gr around 2900fps using standard magnum primers. Only use White River Magnum primers as they are hotter than the Fed 215 when igniting over 200+grs of powder. The 458 Vestal brass comes with an .080” flash hole and needs to be drilled out to 2.5mm (.0984”). Right is 375 Cheytac (400gr bullet) for comparison. Pierce Engineering makes the 20X action with correct boltface for each of these cartridges as well as BAT Machine Company Inc. Also the 50 Vestal, not pictured, uses the same case as the 460 Vestal. Formed and correct headstamped brass is available for all the “Vestal” cartridges. Hopefully this helps with any confusion and answers most questions

Since scientists is trying to bring back extinct prehistoric animals, I’m sure T-Rex & the wooly mammoth will be on the agenda!! Below is what 16,500ft/lbs of energy (460 Vestal with 700gr @ 3250fps) & 18,000ft/lb of energy (50 Vestal with 900gr @ 3000fps) looks like!! I believe these cartridges will definitely work to put those beasts back in the extinct category if need to be!!
(For comparison- A 50BMG pushing an 800gr at 2950fps generates 15,500ft/lb of energy)
