SOLD/EXPIRED 28 Nosler in mcmillan game hunter

[BlazerBeam]

Christensen arms ridgeline 28 nosler bedded in a mcmillan game hunter. Christensen's side port brake. 20 MOA nightforce rail bedded to receiver. Triggertech trigger. 70 rounds exactly through it. Shoots awesome with the only two bullets I've tried: 180 Berger hybrid (lowest ES load @ 3130) and 175 Accubond Long Range (3145 FPS). Out of all of the rifles I have ever owned, this one has been the easiest and least picky one I have ever had. Everything I've shot has been under 1/2 inch or better. I regret having to sell it, but I have a couple of other custom builds that are almost done that I need $ to pay the second half on.
rifle only: $2600
Rifle, once fired ADG brass, 200 180 Berger hybrids, original radial brake: $2800

How much brass in the sale and do you have dies that you would include?

 

[Bkmuschalek78]

Is it a triggertech special?

 

[BlazerBeam]

No I believe it is a trigger tech primary. 50 pieces of ADG brass. I do have more ADG brass, but once fired in another rifle. I do have dies, but I have another 28 so I wasn't planning on including dies unless it was an absolute deal breaker for everyone I correspond with who is interested

 

[Longtine88]

BB, could you expand a little on your 2 loads, the development of them if you used a ladder or what, and recipe? I'm thinking about it I just would like to hear how you came across an accurate node in it.

I started with breaking in the barrel with the 175 ABLR at .050 off loaded over retumbo, just to see how this bullet shot, as it has been hit and miss for me in the past. I did one shot-clean for 3-4 shots while getting it on paper, then started shooting 100 yard groups of 3 while again cleaning between the 3 shot groups. Went up in .5 grain increments for these 3 shot groups from 79.0 grains of retumbo up to 81.5. Across all groups the ES was about the same ~ 10-15 FPS. There were a couple charges that opened up to .7 or .8 and the others were like the group in the pic on the white target .3-.5. I liked that but wanted to see how the Berger hybrid did, which in 7mm is a new bullet to me. Started with testing for what seating depth the bullet liked by shooting 3 shot groups at 100 yards running seating depths from .030-.005 off with 80.5 grains retumbo. All groups were tight, which made me think the powder charge was a good one. So I just chose .015 off for seating depth and ran charges from 79.5-81.5 and shot groups again, this time the brass had been once fired. Every group was not all one holers like in the seating depth testing. Still good groups but not the "all touching" type of groups. But the groups from 80-81 grains were the tight ones and had the best extreme spreads. So I picked 80.5 and shot a final 4 shot group that is in the picture. Then saved one round that I center punched a piece of cardboard at 700 yards with and called that good. Probably not as scientific as some people but It works well enough for me. Also somewhere in my testing I tried one random, middle of the road charge of IMR 8133 because I figured it would be an easier powder to find over retumbo and those 3 shots printed a little tiny group too.

Would you sell just the adg brass?

 

[Longtine88]

So it's wanting to shoot for sure sounds like. I'm interested for sure and the brass with the gun is a must with me. I want the brass you have shot in this rifle with the rifle if I pulled the trigger on it. I'm gonna think about it (that means talk to the wife) lol

 

[BlazerBeam]

Sounds good. Let me know. I'm flexible on price. I just need the money right now.

 

[Makaira]

[fastnflat1]
