I’m fairly satisfied that it will. But I want its new owner to know that it was never played with and better than just any factory gun sent out the door.

One day to complete the work. New stock, something to the bolt, fix the floor plate problem, the crown was worked on, and they polished the chamber!! Checked it for function, test fired it, and then cleaned it up and shipped it! Plus a target for peace of mind.

Ruger received the gun a week ago, and I was notified that it’s been given to a Technician for evaluation today! Pretty efficient service for such a large company! The floor plate should have never left the factory that way. Simply unacceptable for something so apparent to notice, but in...

Short barrels are generally more accurate than their longer counterparts because they are stiffer, and better harmonics !

Hodgdon put their magazine every year and typically it has a lot of different bullets depending on the cartridge. It’s not specific to one companies bullets, but it will only contain their powders.

I wasn’t aware that the stainless steel version uses a fluted barrel like the one you have. What length bbl. is yours wearing? For some reason it looks longer than 22”, do they offer a 24” too? To me nothing is easier to make shoot than a Partition or Ballistic Tip. Either bullet has taken...

I’m not sure why I missed seeing this. That’s super cool that you’re able to do that and keep busy in the shooting industry! I’m glad you’re apart of that Guy, keep us updated whenever you’re able to. Lots of great things going on over there. I’ve tried getting in contact with them for a...

Right after I posted that I thought I’ve got the wrong guy….., It’s not like I’m dumb! I used to have a Remington XP100R in 260 Remington with the Kevlar stock when it first came out…. But now it’s remembering which forum member is who? You’d think with a username like xphunter I’d know better?

You can make a pig fly, and that’s what I expected to see happen once you sat down to testing your new Tikka 6.5x55…. You’re just getting going, I’m sure you’ll have that beat sooner or later!

Wait, no recoil…. You’re using a lead sled! Minus the lead shot or weight, but it’s got to recoil going that fast in that light weight gun without the lead sled 🛷.

.223 easy to shoot and find anywhere into anything. 6.5 CM/6.5x55 same as above. 30-06 It’ll take care of everything if you use the right bullet in the correct POI. .375 H&H What’s not to like about it, unless you’re a.404 Jeffery kind of guy. 458 Lott Not much to not like other than the...

I think you put the nail to the wood with your observations Guy! And yet I can get bored with not having something new to make shoot like Scotty said. But you’re more right than wrong, isn’t usually nailing wood down a lot like hunting…. Use whatever you have to get the job done!?! Sure...

I’ve tried them close to the lands and have gone as far as .150” off , and yet never could get them to shoot even with various powders. Hopefully they will work for you. I’ll assume you are testing these in your two Swede’s?

Well I had to box up the Ruger and send it back to them so they could fix a few issues. I couldn’t understand why it would put two shots touching at 100 yards and then the next day and/or after letting it cool completely down throw a shot? So I looked up the torque specs and took the floor...

That’s incredible that they got it made so fast! I’ve used two, and still using one of them. They definitely make great barrels that shoot extremely well! A .375 caliber bullet going 3K should make hearing impacts easy, even from a mile away!

You’re not kidding that is some nice wood! It looks like it has some fiddleback in it?

45.0 = 2625 fps after fouling out the barrel again.

H4895, RL15 w/225 Barnes for mine.

Unfortunately I seriously doubt that anyone will ever see Norma Powders Stateside. Alliant has recently begun shipping Reloader powders, which was a long time coming. That said, even though they are considered the same, but slightly better QC product than what Alliant is selling, it’s not...

I noticed that Scheels had RL 23 in Billings yesterday. I’d almost think RL 16 would be too fast, but I could be wrong. I have some but I didn’t think about trying it.
