Progression of my target build

Started life as a .308 and ended up as a 223 throated for 80 and 90 grain Bergers.

How the lugs looked when I got the action



All trued up and ready to go



Hole being punched in the Bartlein Barrel



Pillars being cut


Bedding job finished


All put together and shined up


Not bad groups for starters


Ahh, much better

very nice! why didn't you do any more testing with the 23.40gr of powder? that looked the most promising in my opinion. What powder are you using?

Notice how the center of the groups shift from 23.0 to 23.6 then levels off at 23.6 to 24. Also the ES was more eratic on both sides of 23.4 but settled down above 23.6. 4895 powder. Shooting it in a 2 day 600 yard 120 shot match this weekend so I'll see how it does.

Looks good. Where is the match that you are shooting in?
