I've seen a few threads asking about this particular rifle, recently. I got one a few months back (the .243) and I absolutely love it. If you're going to handload for it, all the better. Some of my first loads were making one ragged hole at 100 yards, right out of the box. It took all the work out of "load development". The one thing I noticed on mine, is that the amount of freebore is minimal compared to some of my other guns (in particular, my 10FP in .308). Therefore, I don't need to load them long to get closer to the lands. A plus in my book.

These are just some of my first loads. I've shot many groups that are better, but don't have pics on hand. This gun really likes the 87 grain V-Max.
