[QUOTE="heavyhandle, post: 662242, member: 49532"] I received, as a Valentine, a Cooper MDL 22, VLM, 6.5x284, 26" 1/8". I had to assemble every component from scratch, as no ammo is available here on the coast. I ordered 100 pieces Lapua brass, SMK 142gr. and Berger 140gr VLD, Redding dies, used RL 22 and Win LRPs. My first effort with different coals and loads were several groups under.3". I'm sure I can improve these as I get a better feel for this cartridge, which is new to me. I really like this rifle, the wood is beautiful and the feel of every part is as precise as I have ever felt in any other rifle, I have owned or fired. [/QUOTE]
