[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 972427, member: 63138"] Just got the barreled action back from the smith yesterday. I plan to shoot it a bit before I Duracoat the stainless in flat black to match the scope. This is a Sako Finnbear L61R (1970s vintage) that was a 7mm Rem mag but now is a 26 Nosler. It is topped with a Leupold VX6 in 3X to 18X. Barrel is a Krieger 5R, 8.5 twist, #5 contour bull sporter finished at 26 inches with a 3 port Muscle brake. The whole thing weighs in at 10.5 pounds I'm going to start with the 127 Barnes LRX as I figure it won't fly apart like a Beger might. I loaded some min loads of Magnum (78.0 grains) and there is a lot of room left in the case - QuickLoad says it is 86% full. I'll post my loads, velocities and such when I get something worked up. Should be fun. Hopefully i'll have some barrel life left after I get it to group! [/QUOTE]
