You sure you want to shoot one way back in like that? It'd be a difficult drag out.

Progress update: So far have not been able to match factor groups with my reloads. Which issss starting to get old. However, so far have settled on 140gr Accubonds. Will be trying some 140gr Partitions shortly. Solid 1MOA out to 200, but I'm sure it has a little more to give. I just haven't hit on it yet. Hot again, wind 5-10. Around 150 have been shot. Will get it's first cleaning tonight or tomorrow.

Discovered a loose screw on the occular ring mount. Groups have shrunk. This would be the best one of the day. Leupold 6x42 with HD

Nice shootin' Hoss!
58-59 grains of H4831sc and a 140 Accubond is the money load.....

The rest were around .75, but with a 6x and HD I'm better than happy. Now to try and work up a partition load since that was Bob's deal. Nathan gave me one that sang when he shot it, but so far I haven't been able to make it happen.

Looks like it'll be ready for fall. Hopefully it's as lucky as you are.

Nathan gave me one that sang when he shot it, but so far I haven't been able to make it happen. Appears to have perked! Harry, FWIW, Nate uses a fixed 20x with a small dot (IIRC) when shooting customer rifles. With a 6X HD scope, I'd be mighty happy with that cluster.

This morning: Full disclosure--two other three shot 100 yard groups snuck over one inch. On the 200 yard group, I said to myself if number 3 goes in with numbers 1 and 2, I can't post it. It would just have someone thinking BS. It still not may be a good idea, but here it is. Don't get sloppy on the trigger and this rifle shows it's stuff. Sent a text to Nathan saying the kids use the term "sick" to describe something crazy good. This rifle is definitely "sick." No chrono on this end, but it looks like it should be 3000fps plus a little. Another bonus is it doesn't mind being shot dirty.

I was worried for awhile. It shot good at first, then tailed off. Then I discovered the loose screw on the ring when changing scopes and the worries left.
Some of you should give Nathan a look when you are considering another build.
