[QUOTE="2tall, post: 1044720, member: 84652"] I am crazy happy with this gun, i still need to have the action bedded, get a bipod and a good sling but she weighs in right at 10 pounds as of now which is very huntable (for me) i love how pacnor made the barrel a solid contour, goes perfect with the boydes stock that has the bull barrel channel, looks real clean in person. Shot it a couple times the other day (shot one round and clean blah blah blah break in) i dont believe in it but with as much money as i have in it i will take every precaution i can. I am just fire forming some factory 280 and it actually shot pretty decent. Still not done with break in tho. I plan on using the fire formed brass for my hunting loads, i think i will try speer's 130 grain boat tail. I wont spend much time developing a hunting load, even a load thats only able to give 1.5 in groups at 100 would be fine for deer hunting*where i hunt. Ive kinda changed my mind on my target load tho, i will still use nosler brass but i saw the hornady 162 gr match bullets are almost half the price of bergers and have a bc of .610 vs berger 168s at .617 I figure i will give the hornadys a shot first and if i cant get them to shot then i will spend the extra coin on the bergers.
