[QUOTE="Leathel, post: 328865, member: 20036"] Now have this rifle up and running, did a couple of groups form firing some 7mm mauser brass (picked up 120 once fired brass for NZ$20) and 2 of the four loads were good .442 and .456 @ 100 but slow....Still not bad for a budget build with an 98k action and used Target barrel done in my Panel shop on a 30yr old lathe:rolleyes: Then did a few loads too find preasure, loaded from 47gr ADI AR2213SC (H4831) up to 54gr in .5gr steps at the upper end using a freinds load of 54gr for his 6.5-284 that he is getting 3015fps in a 30" barrel Nice even gains in velocity as it went up and no stiff bolt even at the hottest load at 3006fps in my 27 1/2 barrel......measured the brass and no real preasure signs:cool: I will get some loaded at the upper end to test groups again.....positive signs to date, Might have to find a modern action to build this on as I like the round and with its long neck should help seal the gases and have a better barrel life.:) [/QUOTE]
