[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1107246, member: 10755"] Barrelnut, my rifle is a standard blued Ruger M77 MKII with the 'magnum' contour in 24", the max load I worked up to produced 3076fps @ 61, 488psi, this is why I dropped back to the 57gr load @ 58, 370psi. This barrel has a chamber .001" above SAAMI minimum, barrel has been hand lapped by myself and it SHOOTS, 1/4 MoA is not uncommon with this rifle and 100gr BT's, under MoA is easy with little effort. The rifle isn't stock, it has been glass and pillar bedded, free floated from 2" forward of the recoil lug and a T-Bone tweaked Timney trigger @1 1/4 lbs. I had a Win Model 70 and a Rem Sendero, neither shot like this rifle, I sold the 70, it had a lot of the New Haven problems, the Sendero I re-barrelled to 6.5-284 Norma, it's my short F-Class rifle. I still have that 25-06 barrel I took off, don't know if I will ever do anything with it, it has a large chamber that shot like crap. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
