Recently, a friend of mine who was a bit die hard Remington fan, broke down just a little decided to try a Remage build in 6.5 Creedmore. He decided on a Trued 700 Action from PT&G and a 26'' X-Caliber 1:8 .90 @ the muzzle barrel from Jim.
This weekend we went to the indoor 100yd range at Open Range in Crestwood Ky to get it sighted in. And after just a few shots it was clear this thing is a **** laser beam. With factory Hornady 140gr (not the new ELD either) his smallest 3 shot group was .28 and the 5 shot group was .55. The rifled averaged right at about .4 over all the various groups, and needless to say he was very pleased.
I can imagine with handloads and little tweaking it is only going to get better.
Thanks Jim for an awesome barrel you made me look good!!
