Action wrench and vise are being delivered any minute. Will try to get the barrel off after work and in the mail tomorrow.


Once I get shipping notification that the action is on its way home, I will order the headspace gages.

Once it's together, bedding and paint.


Load development will take a bit I'm sure. All I have is 300gr Speer Deep Curls. And we all know the bullet situation. I do have dies, powder, primers and brass. Just not the bullets I WANT to hunt with...though I will if I need to. A 300gr deep curl at 2k or so will flatten most critters I'm sure.


So, it's gunna be a bit. But coming along.


Still have to decide on bottom metal too. I think I'm back to sticking with some form of BDL.
