Matt does great work! He just finished up a PRC for one of my boys, and is working on a rifle for me now. I will wager it shoots...

Very nice work. When do we get the range report?
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Very nice work. When do we get the range report? I plan to assemble some ammo today, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to hit the range. Fishing season is upon us!

Shot the 22 Creed today. It shoots okay, I guess... After a few sighter shots to get it in the ball park, here at the first 5 shots for load development. I was shooting 75 A-maxes, with five different charges of RL-26. The last shot was the flier, probably me; the big grin I had probably screwed up my cheek weld. I'll put some more ammo together and see what they're doing for velocity. I didn't have as much time at the range, today, as I would have liked. So far, though, I like what I'm seeing.

22 Creedmoor, that target & RL 26 is reassuring as I have yet to begin work with mine. I have enough RL 26 to last the rest of my life. I am looking real forward to starting load work.
You gotta be excited.

I really like my 22 cm, great performance, mild mannered, no fuss, just a nice cartridge. Sure you’ll be happy with it Dan.
I’m running 75 elds, and 26, alpha brass.👍
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.
