[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1217901, member: 10291"] Having been a hard core fan of the 6.5x284 I decided to add another build to the collection. Nothing fancy, just a workhorse for back-up to my prized Cooper. It will be used for casual LR practice and Egg shoots. For components I used a minty &0's vintage Remington LA, a take off Milspec HS precision stock, tuned the companion Reminton trigger, and had a Rem Varmint size 26" barrel from Bartlein installed and action tried up. Also had an oversized recoil jug installed. I took it out today for the first time to do a barrel break in and try a test group at 200 yards. For a load I used new brass to construct an identicle load that I have used in my Cooper. The only difference is that the difference in throat resulted in the !40gr JLK being .035" off the lands as opposed to the Coopers sweet spot of .075". I fully expected to to some seating depth testing to optimize the new build. After an unnecessary 20 rounds of break-in(was cleaning well at 10 rounds), I shot this 5 shot group at 200 yards. ES for the 5 shots was 8FPS and the velocity was within a few FPS of my Coopers 2975FPS with the same load. A great start and I just might be done if these results hold up. 5 shots at 200 yards, .25MOA. I'm usually not that lucky though. [/QUOTE]
