Don't know on the freebore- letting Jon(beanland) do his magic. Figured on 80 gr- The reason why is my business bought PMC when they closed down in the states(El Dorado Cartridge) when we were in Nevada. I got literally a 55 gallon drum of those 80 grain soft points in the deal. Sold all but about 4000 of them so a lifetime supply still!! John

Good choice, Jon builds a heck of a nice rifle & it will shoot!

Built mine to shoot the 105amax. Mr Dixon specced the reamer and I'm at 2.4 something and change with the amax touching lands.
I didn't have the firing pin bushed and should have. The 105 amax is sub Moa with h335. Loaded some Berger 95vld hunting and n133 and it's an honest one holer. Only two loads I've tried thus far and I am well pleased.

Have to open up the lug recess tonight and will weight things out.



How does it shoot and please post some pics. Thinking of doing the exact same build, but maybe a sendero light proof.

Tried two loads so far and they both shoot lights out. I did not have the firing pin bushed and should have. The bolt will go out to GreTan soon enough.
H335/105 amax and N133/95 Berger vld hunting, Lapua brass, remmy 7.5 primers. I never found pressure as I had no sticky bolt lift, primers were still nice and round but a big fat crater at the firing pin, and no chrony with me. The H335 loads cratered more extensively. The n133 at VV max book did not crater until I was a couple tenths above max. Everything was under an inch and several loads were in the half inch or less range. I am no photo expert but will give it a whir tomorrow.

I'm already planning an identical build in a creedmoor of 6 flavor. I'm very pleased with the sendero contour although it does limit your stock choices. The Ag composites stock won't win any beauty contests and I wouldn't run one without bedding. I was afraid this would turn out to be a goat hump blueprint that would do nothing well. Happy to report it's comfortable on the shoulder, off a pack, and on the bench so far. Hope to have some loads chronied soon.

My tastes generally run towards Montuckys and chopped WalLy World ADL specials in Mountain Rifle or Mountaineer pattern Mickeys. This one may change things.

And while it is an n of 1....LRI will get what PacNor doesn't for any future builds. I have Rock Creek, Douglas, PacNor and now Proof experience. The only guns that have given me as consistent loads as this Proof/LRI combo are my NULAS.....and I'm pretty sure they would shoot dog turds over cream of wheat into bugholes.
