Twist rate is 1-10" with a 3 groove barrel, meaning only 3 raised lands... Most of my long range shooting has been from a wood or concrete bench. Gun is carried from the truck to the bench and set up from there.

Yorke-1, there are no pressure signs with the load that I am shooting. I mean none whatsoever! OAL is - 2.982"

This is the load: Case: Lapua 6.5-284 necked to 30-284 Primer: Winchester WLR Powder: H-414.......62.0 grains - compressed Bullet: Hornady 155 gr. A-MAX seated .007 into lands Velocity: 3,400 fps. from 30" Lilja 3 groove barrel

I hope you'll post a picture or two after you put a can on it.

Thanks guy's, glad you like it! Effective barrel length is 21 inches and the addition of the muzzle brake makes for an overall length of 22 1/2 inches. It IS a joy to shoot! With this set up, recoil is about half that of a factory 223 with a varmint weight barrel. Copenhagen1966 - that's a...

Idaho-5R, Thank you! That barrel is one of mine, and is a 1.200" straight tube.

Finally got 2 pictures to download in post #1.

I have guns that will shoot the 155 gr., 168 gr. and 178 gr. A-MAX bullets, but I have not been able to shoot the 208 gr. A-MAX accurately at high velocity. I have guns and loads that will shoot 3/8" or less average group sizes when that 208 gr. is pushed to no more than 1,500 fps., but that is...

I all honesy, all things considered at the time, I couldn't tell if it was a coyote or a deer! I knew I could make the shot, and I'm glad that it was a deer, but if it had turned out to be a coyote, it would have gotten it's picture on the wall with the rest of them.

I have been shooting a 308 Winchester loaded with Sierra's 168 gr. Match King at 1,000 yards, just to see what kind of accuracy I could get out of it. No target pictures yet, but until I can get a new camera - 200 yd. groups average: 5/8" 600 yd. groups average: 2 3/8" 1,000 yd. groups...

It was a yearling, not a fawn. ;)

I shoot the 168 gr. A-MAX in a Ruger #1 chambered on 308X444 Improved, and I have shot it to 1,200 yards and have taken several coyotes with it. It has been the most consistently accurate bullet tested.

Dang gone that's a beautiful gun!!! It's been a long time since I have seen a stock that looked that good! You should be very proud of that!

One thing that really helps me with my guns, and something I have done for over 30 years, after the last round of the day is fired, and the barrel is still warm, run a couple of wet patches down the bore with a 50/50 mix of Shooters Choice and Kroil and keep the bore wet. Then every 2 to 3 days...

I have not been able to find a replacement for it, but I do have 62 boxes in my loading room, so I'm good for a long while yet. My long barreled 300 Weatherby Magnum is the only .30 caliber rifle I have that will shoot this bullet accurately, and when it's accuracy falls to the wayside, it will...
