[QUOTE="A1C, post: 2728112, member: 105373"] Z-gunner, I have this gun in a long action Zermatt Origin, TT special trigger, proof carbon 26” 1-9” RH from Evolved Ballistics. I don’t have reamer specs with me. I had it in a KRG Bravo but a year ago switched it to the MDT HNT26 carbon w/some magnesium (folding) chassis and titanium brake. It’s super lightweight for me as I prefer a 10-13lb rifle for shootability but this was for a backpacking setup. I’m not sure exact weight but with the NX8, brake and folding chassis is around 8 3/4 lbs ish. Berger 215s are non-existent which is what this was for so I’ve been shooting 225 ELD ms with H1000 and ADG brass and 215m primers. It shoots good now but I’ve worked a lot this last year with shooting a couple of these ultralight setups and have gotten better. The 225 isn’t the ideal bullet for this chamber but I’ve got it shooting: @ 100 yds 3 shot groups Just over .5 minute is the avg group give or take .3s being my best groups (maybe one in 5-6 groups). I also shoot a ton more SA vs LA but I’m getting better. 300 PRC is no 300 RUM but if you’re comparing 300 PRC vs a SAAMI 300 WM I’d pick 300 PRC all day but a CUSTOM 300 WM performance wise is going to be pretty similar to the PRC… without getting political. I do buy into the case design efficiencies of the cartridge which isn’t a big deal to a lot of people as I load everything I shoot except rimfire and my FX. I finally got my first box of backordered 215 Berger’s but have several other loads that I’ll work on first… so I hope it can shoot better but it will be at least end of spring before I get to it. Compared how I started with the 225s though it’s shooting much, much better. Don’t want to highjack the post but if you want more info we can PM. [/QUOTE]
