Mine is on an A-bolt Stainless Stalker rebarreled with a 25" 10 twist Shilen Supreme. Since I bought 1/2 the reamer it's also an Ackley Improved throated short for 210 Partitions seated to the base of the neck. I developed loads with the Speer 200 Spitzer, after which the 210 Partitions shot well at about 2800fps without too much further adjustment. I had it built in 1991 with dreams of a Montana &/or Alaska hunt. Life happens, plans change whether we like it or not. It's never killed anything & at this point in my life I doubt it ever will unless I decide to shoot a deer in the lower 40.

All these new bullets & powders... I just started working with it again & had it out to the range today. It shot those black CT 200gr. Ballistic Tips & a case full of the newer short grain H4350 at 2965fps into 1/2 to 3/4" 4 shot groups. Will be trying RL17 next. Maybe we'll see 3000+?
