Just because I am wandering around doesn't mean I am lost.

APR is doing some great things.
I have a thread here about my 28 Nosler.
Be sure to let me know if you decide to let this rifle go!
That is called ratchet fluting, and is most effective at reducing weight and inducing cooling.

Ask Kingston or dvdgeorge. They have a lot of recent knowledge on loads that are working for them, albeit different rifle maker.
You should just sell it to me and be done with the frustration 😎

I haven't checked to see yet. I bought it on a whim because of the optic and the quality of the build. I'd seen mention of the 28 Nosler several times, but hadn't really even researched the caliber. I typically don't do that, but this is such a nice rifle, and I don't often come across builds like this in my area.

It had a S&B PM II 5-25 on it...the S&B may go back on it but I'm not certain yet.

If you can run that factory stuff over a chrony, I love to here what your getting. We`re shooting 160 Nosler factory at 3150fps. Yours?

Yeah, you should probably let that one go super cheap before shooting it.

Jason took my order and answers questions i had on several calls. I follow them on FB. They are turning out some really nice guns.
