    And Hornady brass. Going to load up a ladder. What's a good starting charge weight?

    Thanks
    I started at 39.5 grains of IMR 4350 and had my best group (.21") at 41.5 grains but my O.A.L. was 2.835 and I had some feed issues from the magazine. 41.5 grains gave me 2581 fps.

    I've restarted with a O.A.L. of 2.8" and trying Superformance because I had some pretty tight groups with the Superformance and 140 grain SST's.

    I can't stop experimenting!

      Hornady shows their max with imr 4350 at 42g. I usually load a bit past manufacturers max that was at 2.8". I'll start at 40.5g and work up to 42.3 or so using 2.8" oal.

        I went with the Primary Arms FFP scope.

          Best I could do today. Foulers and scope adjustments lower left. Disregard.

          I tried the 143eldx, 140 eld, and 120amax. Only got out to 100 today due to time restraints.




          Chassis came in


          Looks like I'll start out with the eld x and see how they do.

            What mags are you running with the chassis? I need to get a couple more, but I want to put it in a chassis as well, don't want to waste money on the mags if they don't fit. Would love something with more capacity.

              Strongly considering the Predator in 308. Also considering the Savage 10 FCP in a 18 or 20" barrel. I'd like to pair with a suppressor which is why i'm looking at threaded barrels.

              I can't get over the green stock but some of these pics look better than the online store pics. Boyds has some great looking stocks but not sure i could change it out myself.

              Any comments are always appreciated!

                  mdt lss.

                  I'll be testing at 200 next time to confirm speeds and drops and then will move to 300 and 400. Decided to save my factory ammo for the next trip. Hopefully I'll have my Hornady bushings to start reloading by next trip.

                      I've got some knights' armament somewhere I'll try if I can find them but more than likely end up with some AI.

                        Went to the range today. I was being rushed since the range shuts down at 5:30. In less than 45 minutes, I had two different types of ammo dialed in (shooting more frequently than I prefer to). The Hornady whitetail and ELD-X both did well (sub-moa at 100). When I get another chance, I'll spend a lot more time at the range and see how small I can get the groups to be. I might pick up a reloading kit after Christmas.

                            Will look better with the bigger scope after the season is over.

                              Took mine to the range today and put a 25 dollar muzzle brake on it and recoil was almost nonexistent. 3 shot group, just got some IMR 4350 and ordered some Barnes 127 LRXs now that I have some brass.
