Cake walk it looked really good straight outta the mold I filled a couple pin holes sanded it and painted it. Took me one evening after work and had it all done

Mid build

Before

Here is a few pics one of before and a couple during the build

Yes I took it right out of the mold and had it expedited so I'd have ill more time for load development this summer before heading to WY

Took about 12 weeks give or take a day

It's the elk stalker really really like it it is very comfortable

Well if ya include the tools to so the job right I could have had a smith do it for less but the idea was to be able to build my own from here on out. Barrel vise, action wrench, barrel nut wrench, head space gauges, misc...$300+/- Stock, bedding kit, camo paint....$375+/- Barrel from...

**** fine shooting! I wish I had a place I could play at 1000yds but gotta go west a ways before I find that kind of open ground.

Bought the cheek riser a few years back I believe it was this site either way these guys have them I like it a lot it's very comfortable and seems to hold the cartridges snug and don't fall. Voodoo Tactical Adjustable Cheek Rest with Ammo Carrier FYI it's the mobile site since I'm on my...

Just wondering what some of your procedures are 3 shot or 5 shot groups? How many rounds do you fire before letting barrel cool and how long to you wait? How far do you test from 100, 200yds or farther? Any other little tricks you like to use?

I recently purchased new brass for my 300wsm which I have never done I've always just bought factory ammo and shot it then reloaded the cases. Do I need to fire form these before starting load development or should I just go ahead and start loading for accuracy right away?

Ok so I ordered 100 new brass last night and should be here Monday. Now you guys mentioned earlier not using the instructions to set the die so I did a lil digging and see everyone using the headspace gauge set from hornady. Is this how you guys do it? Is there another way besides this? When...
