I got mine for 319 before the rebate. Black Friday Special.
Plus....fifty dollars instant savings at store during Black Friday.....whoa

[OLEJOE]

Store was out of them when I looked but could order it shipped to store for the discounted price. My rebate has been approved but not mailed yet. I usually miss out also but remembered it in time. Ordered mine late Friday evening just under the wire. They were $369.00 Saturday morning.

I want to know how you guys are getting these for $200. I see $319 after rebate. What am I missing?

Black friday sale. Signed for cabelas card got extra 50 off. 299.99 out the door. -100 rebate= 200 :)

Got to shoot “El Cheapo” today. This is a 9 shot group. I shot 1 at a different target because I couldn’t see where they were hitting. Take.264 out of this for CTC.

Nice. What bullet load was that?

[OLEJOE]

The ammo was some handloads I loaded up with SMK 142’s, Hornady fireformed brass, BR2 primers and H4350. Bullets seated .025 out of the lands. I’ve got 4 Creedmoors and this load shoots great out of all of them.

Another pic without caliper in the way.

Solid shooting.

Nice group. Just picked up the 12FV in 6.5 that I bought during the Black Friday Sale but haven't shot it yet. Still looking for a good scope.

A little trick I learned right here on this site with regard to using calipers to measure groups; Close your calipers on the bullet you're shooting and push the ZERO button. Then measure outside to outside of groups and you'll get CTC dimension. Still got the red mark on my forehead from when I read that (I was schooled in mechanical calipers).... DUH!

I never thought of that. Thanks

Finally got a chance to shoot some reloads.
140 eldm. Hornady brass. F210M. H4350. 2.825 coal .030 off. 35 degrees 70% RH 300' elev 5-8 wind at 0 degrees.

40.3gr 2631 es 8
40.7gr 2648 es 5
41.1gr 2693 es 29
41.5 gr. 2718 es 27

12 shots all 4 loads. Excuse the tape had to reuse a target.

note the 45 fps increase and increase in es between 40.7 and 40.1. Now I noticed I was not centered exactly on the chrono at the end of shooting so it could be that the sensors were not square. Not sure. Going to ease up a bit as no pressure signs and check at 300 see if the es holds up. Normally I would shoot a single shot ladder and find max pressure but really wanted to shoot some groups with what is a known accuracy load the original 41.5 Hornady load. Plus it's hunting season and time is at premium. Overall very sarisfied.

well done....

Fixed your links in the first two posts. Not sure what code you were copying, but lots of mumbo-jumbo in it that wasn't needed.

Thanks. Not sure. This site is the only one I've had issues with. I just copy the img link at photobucket and paste in post.
