Thanks. Yessir it is, we hit a range on the way out to the hunt that has target frames at 100/200/300 and steel out to 600yd. I wanted to do a final confirmation on my windage/elevation zero at 300yds (it was spot on). I sent one at the mule deer steel at 500yds and in a borrowed spotting...

The 145LRX had the chance to deliver for me flawlessly on a 5x4 bull at 360yds double shoulder.

Definitely appears that way, but need to confirm 0.010" is consistent in that grouping and not just a good three shot by chance. I'll get the scope matched up to this POI and do more groups with it to see how it holds up to repeat strings.

Ran some seating depth 3-shot tests at 553yd today. 0.010" off seems to shine among those tried, overall smallest group but also less vertical variation. Wind was variable 5-10mph I'd say, first groups I had dialed too far right. Scope isn't 100% tuned to this load yet either, ideally POI...

Bipod shooting @ 400yds today. Down to checking two charges that went 4" and 6.25" respectively for 5rnds ea. the one had 4 inside about 1" verticle. Probably will retry both of these.

Keeping in mind I shoot over a basic prochrono the QL predictions matched up extremely well in terms of powder charge vs velocity. ETA: This was with IMR7828SSC 59: 2873 59.5: 2930 60:2956 60.5:2969 61:3023 61.5:3030 62: 3058 62.5: 3079 63: 3115 63.5: 3144 The above were just single shots to...

Excellent feedback, thanks. Lines up pretty close with what I was interpolating from various other load data available, the prediction helps reassure I was on the right track with my intentions. Now to run an actual charge ladder and see what the reality of my combo is. :)

I took note in my lurking. ;) Plan was to try the IMR7828ssc, then move to H4831sc if needed, can you guess plan C? :)

Flipped primer flush with case mouth is the 71.4gr, 72.4 gr with largest meniscus before it dribbles over. Spent primer with water flush is 72gr, spend with the largest meniscus before it dribbles over is 73gr. Not sure which way the primer is desired in this measurement. Yeah I imagined QL...

Thanks, yeah no extra frills desired, that doesn't make the animals pose longer for ya! :lol: I would appreciate that. Tikka fan as well here, I shoot a T3 in 7-08 as well. Bonus on this M695 action is the mag length is more generous for a LA cartridge than the T3 is, should complement the...

Previous lurker (while gun planning) finally making an intro: Spent last fall trying to decide on a 280AI build or not (and also looking for the right donor to come along), committed at the end of the year and got into the longish que with smith. Got the donor action rebarrel back a couple...
