[QUOTE="jessej, post: 2611487, member: 24557"] It was fitted with some kinda one piece direct mount topped with a NF shv. I recently acquired my first mk5 leupold and I thought this would be a good test specimen. Picked up a NF base and Hawkens heavy tactical rings and buttoned it all up this week. Spent a little time in the lab last night, ran a patch down the barrel to determine it is a 1-10” and talked myself into pursuing a load with 220LRHT bergers. After a quick bit of measuring, discovered that with the 220s, coal is 3.950” touching the lands. Which puts these projos seated about right in the case. However, i want this rifle to be a repeater, and with the factory bdl set up, we gonna be seated comically deep and a lightyear away from touching. I own 2 other rifles that love long bergers in saami length at a few hundred thou off the lands, so I’ll keep some hope for this one. Bore sighted, and constructed a test fleet using cci 250s, retumbo, Hornady brass. We shall see……. [/QUOTE]
