What’s the barrel length? Thank you, 23" barrel length. I think I'll stick with what you have going.. They can always be let out. Thanks for the word. That rifle looks like it is going to be a blast. If that 59 grain load with the 155 LRX's repeats, I don't know that I'd mess with much else though. That's nice stuff. Semper Fi

Would like improve the velocity and tighten up the groups with the 170gr Ballistic tip loads too Will definitely post further testing. Might not be until next week though. Lots of wind, cold, snow/rain the rest of the week. Hunting with friends over the weekend. Arcus Venator

I want to go back to Africa for Eland, Nyala, Kudu, and whatever. This gun was: "because I want it rifle" Last edited by CRS; 04/21/23. Arcus Venator

You are correct, habit. Once I get a little more serious, it will be on to 5 shot groups, then final testing with ten. Originally Posted by handwerk Beautiful, well put together rifle, enjoy! What BM is that and also do you know the finished weight as pictured? Bottom metal is PT&G Weight as pictured is 8.25#, a little heavier than I typically like. I have done the ultralightweight 270 WCF with a Kimber 84L. Too light and tough to get the rifle to settle down. I have a Model 70 Classic FWT in and Edge FWT stock that gets the nod if a lot of hiking is on the agenda. You can shorten the case necks to accommodate the ogive of the Bulldozer bullets and shorten COAL. Dog I rescued in January

He could run Lapua 30-06 cases if he wanted to see if the bullet shoots better with a bit of a jump, just a suggestion. Generally a rifles throat is cut to accomodate a variety of bullets not just a few. Especially hunting rifles. Dog I rescued in January

Hint. Congratulations?!? Pardon the reality,of reality. Hint. Feel free to speak in the first hand,of Custom Rifles you've commissioned and your "knack" for throat geometry. Hint. The OP is simply a Drooling Dumb Fhuqk,that dropped every ball possible,to yield a Long Action shy of 264 Kreed potential. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!........................
