Good to know. I have an accurate round count of 1350. Still shoots from the high .1s to low .3s and was looking for the end of the road.
I've been looking for the end of the road, maybe I've got some more road to go. Keeping a clean bore and 5 shot groups.
Throat still looks really good in...
Definitely dryfire practice nightly..like 25 times a night.
I wouldn't have started you shooting a magnum. I would have you start with a 223 or even 22lr for a few months. The smaller cartridges allow you to build good form and habits.
Please dont develop a flinch. It's way hard to break.
Looks like my Xten likes 13.4gr #9 and 180gr HAP.
Twenty-nine shots at 25 yards. Just under 1200fps average.
I have a box of 180gr XTP. I want to see if the same load shoots the same as the HAP.

Great brass to form 6mm ackley Improved from.
I still have another barrel worth waiting for a fresh barrel. My last batch has seven firings and...
Man, if that was my only option....
I have a backup plan.
I have a stash of virgin Norma 7×57 brass I've had since Obama. I might get another 6mm Rem Ackley Improved. Still have dies.
I've been searching for 6.5-06 AI dies for a couple of days. My search is coming back empty.
Does anyone have any idea where to det a set?
I have a Rem 700 long action with a 3006 bolt face bolt. I have plenty of Norma 3006 brass to work with. I could do a 280ai but the 3006 brass will be WAY...
