[QUOTE="hnt4elk, post: 1158451, member: 89005"] So a few things have changed since I first posted. For starters work has been hectic and I missed out on my action I had lined up. Here is my update as of now. I have changed the barrel I'm going with. I am in the middle of placing my order for a McGowen 26" 1:8 twist 28 Nosler barrel with their turbo brake. It will be throated for the Berger 195 EOL's. The 195's are shipping now and once in I have decided to make a dummy round with COAL at 3.660-ish (subject to change due to further research in the next coming days) for throating. This won't quite take me to the max of boat tail/bearing surface meeting the neck/shoulder but it will get me close. From there it will give me room for load data and chasing the lands. Extending the COAL should help with pressure also. I'm not worried about barrel life as between family and work I don't get out to shoot as much as I would like. Family comes first and well work has to be there to support my family and my passion for the outdoors. So as of now barrel should be finalized and ordered tomorrow. Berger 195 EOL's are in shipping along with Nosler brass and dies. 20 moa picatinny rail and Sightron SIII 6-24x50 are on my bench waiting for this rifle. They will soon be joined by a B&C Medalist stock. (Still debating bottom metal) It will all be cerakoted once finished. I am still looking for an action to build off of. I've found a bunch more around town but it seems everyone is wanting a premium for them right now. I don't know if it's because of the gun show coming up in town or what but no one is budging on prices. I have a little time though as there is lead time on the barrel. Engineering101, I'm excited about this build. Nice work on yours. Did you do any other load testing with other powders or just with US869. Any pressure signs while testing? [/QUOTE]
