Just got my rifle back from the gunsmith. It came out great. Went with a 26 inch X-caliber varmit barrel, 1:10 twist in 308 and had a Jard 2.5lb trigger installed. Topped it with a Leupold VX II 4x12x50 scope I had in the safe.
I wonder what I will find when I clean my Man Cave. I moved a box yesterday and found several hundred Nosler bullets for 6.5 and 7 mm. But for now I think I will finish my nap and wait on the UPS man to deliver my rifle. Sweet Dreams .
I picked up a Ruger 77RSI in 275 Rigby because it was too Purdy to shoot according to the owner. Ended up getting a #1 RSI in 257 Roberts from him too.
I have the cerakoted/ camo version of that rifle in 45/70. I use the 300 gr Hornady Hollow point and Starline brass in mine and it will shoot under an inch at 100 yards. Does great on deer.
Edit:
56 gr of H4895
Rem 9 1/2 primer
Just put a bid on a 308 on Gunbroker. We will see if my highest price will be able to hold off the last minute bidders. Auction ends tomorrow night.
Update. A couple of others wanted it more than me. Still has a day to go.
I see they did add a few new ones overnight, they must have read our post. That 125gr Partition in 6.5 looks interesting. Might have to try that in my Swede and 260
