Thanks MCH.
I did not expect this one to turn out as awesome as it did, mostly because I was just looking for a black bbl and didn't have anything particular in mind, but damn if the thing doesn't look like a blued rifle.
I'm throwing charges on the Dillon 550 and it's hanging right with my 6 Dasher out to 650.
It feeds like butter, shoots inside almost every rifle I own while cheap to shoot and practically effortless to reload for.
Shaen is a serious up and comer.
I should probably shoot some groups for BSA....
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Nah, I was up a few bucks up until a 1,325 yard Hail Mary almost put my family out on the streets.... 😜 Just glad I didn’t go home owing anybody money (cough, darrenk75b, cough)! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tgySQ2qc/EF2788-B4-A17-A-4-EC9-98-FB-9329-CFA31224.jpg) Gotta watch out for that darrenk75b:) If you see Darren wish him Happy Holidays from his friend in Oregun:)

This thing is shooting unbelievable!
I have 450 or so rounds down it and 75 eld’s with 27.6 gr of Lever in formed Rem cases is showing such tiny vertical I can’t hardly believe it.
Fast becoming a favorite. Good to hear. I write funny notes while working, and while I won’t repeat what I wrote, my prose indicates the barrel was very straight and uniform.
I’m not an organ donor. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I’d rather cover my bases in case there is and I need everything. You just never know.

Good to see you putting a great looking rig to good use.

Hell of a nice looking rig, Higbean. Sounds like you've become a really big 223 AI fan.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Fast twist .223AI with a good bullet is an impressive combination to say the least.

I haven’t messed with any 88’s in formed brass but was forming with them running a measly 2,600 fps with Lever.

That pig wouldn't be hanging down at the locker with a plain old .223
Needed the AI on this one.

What's a 223 AI?
That stock is one of the nicer looking McWoody's I have seen, that one came together well in all regards.
