Impressive, that's a sweet looking rig.
How do you like the APA bottom metal? Would like to use one on a rifle if I can ever come across one. Very happy so far, only ten mag dumps so far, but really like how it is integrated into the trigger guard. nice clean look and functions better on the hunting platform. If it was a tactical rifle, the M5 style is where it is at.

The barrel on this is a # 3 contour, I will weigh it very soon and post it.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

You pay a premium for those projectiles, though. Thanks! Kind of what I'd seen

.7+ G1 for pointed JLKs.... holy smokes!! Not a whole lot of competition for that bullet at 3100fps.... I'm getting 3175fps with 139 scenars. I could easily get 3250. The 3175 load shows zero pressure. I'm necking down 7 SAUM brass(.291 bushing), trimming to 2.020", turning the necks to 15 thou, and using H1000.
Luck....is the residue of design...

just got back from it.
It is a long range shoot in MT, not a match.
show up and have fun shoot, not a pay to play deal.

I'm getting about 2 thou. runout on new, never fired cases, prepped to 6.5. This one has been fired once(loaded twice)and shows less than 1 thou.

Man, wonder what us mere mortals who will never likely shoot at game past 500 yards could do with a 130 accubond...
