Its off to the range tomorrow. The barrel is on, it's been test fired and I hogged out the barrel channel on the old stock to receive the new barrel. I formed a few cases with the COW method but it was too much noise and mess firing into a long box filled with paper in my garage. I will fire a few rounds with some Hornaday 300 grain flat points to start the break in process then a bunch of military 30-06 and 35 Whelen (that was originally military 06) loaded with 16 grains of Bullseye and topped with corn meal and paper wadding or crayons. I tried 12 and fifteen grains in the garage but they didn't quite fill out the 06 cases. I tried some crayons in the 06 cases at the recommendation of a a member here. That is slick. Just push it in to the case mouth and break it off. Way faster than paper.
I'll post some pics tomorrow after I get back.
