Really nice!
My stock finally arrived yesterday and I got busy putting it together. It started life as a 7mm mag that I bought on Gunbroker for 200 bucks and shot 3" groups at 50 yards. Oh well, I bought it for a donor anyway.
Savage 110 action
PT&G bolt head
Criterion 24" varmint contour 1-8 twist
NSS precision barrel nut and .250 lug
McMillan A3 in coffee camo
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50
EGW practical rings and 20 MOA base
YHM 7.62 QD Ti Phantom
A big thanks to Tim at N.O.S. and Jim at Northland. Both super nice guys and a pleasure to do business with.
Took it to the range for a shakedown. Starting load of 39gr of IMR 4350, 140gr SMK's in necked up 243 brass. After I got it sighted in I did a 6 shot group(lost track) and a 3 shot group with the suppressor.
Six shot......yanked the 4th one.
3 shot suppressed.
Next is load development, confirm drops and stretch her out.
Really nice!
Fine rig.
Nice
nice, i like how you have the scope close to the bore. Nice.
Looks good. Give the 142 SMK and the 140 Amax a try too. I have had great luck with both of those.
Not too shabby, wait till you break it in.
Nice rifle
That's pretty. Have you been shooting at Ben Avery?
How long was your wait on the Mickey stock from N.O.S.?

Very nice! I've been playing with my creedmoor for a wile now and I can tell ya the lil 6.5s are bad to the bone.
I was able to do some load testing yesterday and the results flat out sucked, it only liked the lowest charges of IMR4350 with anything over 40 grains printing around 2 MOA. Time to try a different powder.
sometimes you hit pay dirt early on load development...sometimes you dont.
4350 is a slow burn as it is.
which powder do you think you,ll go to next?

kingzero, I know all rifles are different and like different things, but my 260 loves 43grns of IMR4350, 140grn PSP,CCI BR Pri. Hodgedon lists only a max load for this at 43grns, 2715fps, and only 57,000psi, so I went with it right off. No pressure signs. This combo shoots bug holes at 100yds and 1/2 Moa out to 300yds for me. I could easily be wrong, but I doubt your issues are coming from the IMR4350. Off hand, I suspect your not using enough of it. O yes, the 140grn PSP is a "bore ryder" bullet, and this makes it easy for me to start it "touching" the lands, which I think helps this combo. Good Luck-Good Shooting........Jim
King have you ever used a suppressor before? Could it subtract accuracy? Dunno just asking.
