Have to keep that in mind for the future. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

TBAC7? I will shoot some and post them ASAP. Planning to use a TBAC Ultra 5 Gen II once I get my stamp back. I have an Ultra 9 but I made the mistake of buying it with the .264" aperture so that wouldn't work out to well with .284 bullets. Tempted to thread my Omega 300 onto it in the meantime just to see how it does.

Action still needs to be nitrided and the barrel shank engraved. cool unique girl names Shot the rifle today to confirm that the bedding issue has been fixed. Yeah it's just one group, but at .282" I think I might be on the track. We'll see what handloads will do.

No, that's straight from AG Composites-- all I did was bed it. I'm really impressed with their work. Of course, they have done a bunch of OEM stocks to include the Fieldcraft.

I am getting my .257 weatherby (700 action) rebarreled to 7mm PRC with another #3 Bartlein. The twist is 8.7 which I thought a little odd. Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds.
