I just bought one from Kirby, with a 24" bbl. Does anybody have one and if so what does it like to eat?

Mine likes the 165 Hornady SST and IL bullets. It also shoots well with 168, 175 and 178 bullets with 41.5 gr of H4895 and a match primer. If you are shooting from a front rest (other than bipod) you really have to watch out for different canting due to the round forend. You will like it a bunch!

436,
Don't know where you got your load, or if you're even aware of this, but you've **** near duplicated the load for LC's M118LR ammo. They use an LC Match case and a #43 primer instead of the #34, but other than that, you're there. That load should shoot in just about any properly built 308, bolt gun or gas gun, and have the "oomph" to hang in there at the 1000 yard mark.
