I like that cartridge and always wanted to make one of those. Sorry about the crappy pics. One son is on a trip through Europe with one camera, and the wife borrowed the other. Down to the dregs. You've got good eyes to read that. Got it bedded last night, gonna shoot this weekend, got a few different bullets loaded up.

You also apparently changed your order to a 1-14" twist. Penny is very helpful. Knowing your order and name made it easy.

Whatever shoots best, but have 120 NBTs, 123 Scenars, 140 vlds, and I believe 140 A-max's loaded.
It shot seven NBTs into an inch yesterday, over I-4350, and that was with virgin brass and runout all over the map. Looks like it'll shoot.

Went to the range again today, looks like the rifle really likes the 123 Scenars, two different powders put five well under 1."

Is that a question, or a recommendation? If so, what's your load if you don't mind me asking?

No worries, I just spoke to her, they've fired some test rounds and it's shooting right at 3" so it's ready to ship!!!

Well, it looks like the rifle will shoot. I have about a hundred rounds through it so far, yesterday shot the first ones with once-fired brass. It shoots everything I've put through it at an inch or better, Berger 140s and 123 Scenars really well. These are some 4-shot groups with the 123's and I-4350, ranging from 3,050-3,200 fps, haven't topped out yet: ![[Linked Image]](http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p46/cpwatts_2006/DSCN1324.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p46/cpwatts_2006/DSCN1325.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p46/cpwatts_2006/DSCN1326.jpg)
