Thanks buddy. Hows your 6.5x55 project going? Ill bet thats going to be a shooting sob.
Yessir, just fine, getting to know it a little, installed a Timney at around 1.5lbs, put three rounds in 6.5 inches at 900 yards the other day, it likes the little 147gr ELD's at 2962 fps over 53.5gr H-1000 lit with BR2's in Lapua cases, col 3.140 inch, e.s. 8 fps.
I sure like the build and am more than happy I went standard 6.5x55.
That is awesome man. I really like my old 6.5x55 m96. Yours is modern and you can run those babies hotter than the creed. That sweedish mauser is so damn accurate too. I think you chose wisely. Damn, that es is low. I remember my 300 WSM load that i shot in competition was 9 fps sd. The only reason i know that is because a guy i shot with wanted to check my loads over a chrono because it shot so well. He was actually a little pissed. It was funny, he asked, "what do you do for a living again?" I said, I'm a welder. He said, i dont know how you do it, "I'm an aeronautical engineer and my loads arent in the single digits, but yours are?" I said, just keep trying buddy I don't need a chrono graph to tell me my loads are good...
I shoot the mofo, if it doesn't tell me what I want on paper, I could care less what the chrono says..
