This pretty girl has never been shot past 100 yds... until today.
Chambered in 6 Creedmoor.
I had developed a good load with the 105 Berger Hybrid, but I didn't want to dip into my stash. So I dug out some really old Berger 105's that didn't have a BC or model designation on the box... packed 80 in a box. Yep, old.. They measured .0030" shorter than the 105 Hybrid. So I used the same charge weight and just set the bullet .010" off like I do with the Hybrids. Shot a decent .250" group at 100, so I decided to True the rifle out to 1K to calculate the BC.
I used the BC of the Hybrid and figured I would tweak from there. Lol, pretty sure I nailed it.
Ran one shot per plate.

WHAT A BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to come to your place just to shoot it even if it is a Creedmoor. Only kidding what a beautiful rifle and shooter!
 
Can you tell us a little about the barrel?
Yes it is an Black iron pipe used in heating and plumbing that I drilled out from 1/4" to .244". Gave it a little room for the bullets to go down without getting stuck. Also use some axel grease for smooth running and accuracy. The black pipe metal is very strong, but don't use it for magnum loads.

JUST KIDDING. THIS IS ON OF THE NICEST LOOKING AND SHOOTING RIFLELS THAT I HAVE SEEN. WHO BUILT IT??? AND WHAT COMPONENTS?
