[QUOTE="GNERGY, post: 647184"] It's a short action with a stock mag box. I am single loading them anyway. My loaded round lenght is 3.040 which for that bullet is .010 off the lands. My latest range session with 140 A Max's and H 1000 gave me a .631 3 shot group at 300 yds with 64.5 grs at 3190 FPS. With 66gr of H 1000 powder gave me velocities just over 3300 FPS, but the group opened up to 1.625 for 3 shots at 300 yds. I am going to go a little higher with the powder, then I am going to try seating them .030 off the lands and then try some Retumbo. I also have some 140gr VLD's to test also. Here is my build pics.
