my general rule of thumb, (all my loads are hunting loads, so I don't jam anything) is C&C bullets I start at .015 and usually find accuracy +/- .05 either way of that. Mono's I start at .050, but more often than not the accuracy is found .075-.100
putting wainscoting in the bedroom, running up the stairs with a freshly cut piece and got wrapped up in an extension cord on the stairs. Fell Head first and gave the oak stairs a five finger death punch. pointer finger broken and wrist sprained. Going to be an interesting spring gobbler season.
looking good! Some quality parts there, and I'd bet you won't have any issue finding a great shooting load. You could probably squeeze out a bit more accuracy by replacing the mil-spec delta ring, handguard, barrel nut and gas block with a free-float handguard and low profile gas block.
Think I’m closing in on the 87 V-max and LeverEvovolution. This load is .2 grain over Hornady max for BOLT gun 62,000 psi data. Not safe for gas guns! Might start tweaking COAL and give it a kiss of a crimp with the lee collet crimp die. Still, I think as is it’ll put down yotes and bobcats...

Started with this savage Axis 6mm ARC, replaced the stock with a Magpul Hunter Lite with aluminum bedding V-blocks. Couldn’t find an AICS mag for ARC or Grendel, but a 224 Valkyrie works with a smidge of modification. Added a Desh Ind. bolt lift kit, and ran a series of Tubbs bullets through it...
I have 5 available. Walnut and cottonwood box calls.. These have gotten a ton of positive responses from users. Great sounding and simple to use. $35 TYD prefer PayPal, but other platforms are available.
Nice. Looks like a fine rifle, should be a shooter! A few specific tools, namely roll pin drifts, and an upper vice block and it’s a rewarding project. I have a factory bushmaster but have built
