Screw those a$$holes. Use only what you need to to hunt & feed your family. Invest your money in another hobby until the prices come down. Money does talk

Exactly. Mine is a .338 wm match. Shoots like a dream to 1250. Working on beyond...

Nice work. I like that we live in an age where we can get such quality components ourselves and not need a specialist to "custom" everything...

Nope. Gun is brand new

1250 yds. 18" c-c....I may have jerked a bit. Ran out of ammo, less than 90 rds down the barrel so far. 10 mils elev exactly needed to 1250yds

1000 yds 4" c-c

I believe min threshold for expansion is 1600. So I'm just there at 1000

It's about .030" jump.. and my gun's chamber is throated long too

The red# is micrometer seating depth on Redding seating die

Targets are from TJ target. NRA A-7/5 75 ft small bore rifle

My 250gr scenar has a bc of .648. I'm getting 2800mv I'm good for targets or game I'd say. I still have more energy at a thousand yards than some 454 casull loads at the muzzle. That may not be ideal but it'll work pretty well

Best group now @ .062"@100 yds... now on to 1000yds+

Weight and muzzle brakes are your friends
