Thank you!
Thank you! I have 20 rounds down they pipe now. I will share later today.
What's the weight?
Good question. I was originally estimating 9-9.5lbs all in. I will weigh it and report back. I do know the HCA barrel is heavier than a Proof.
I just finished a 7-08 that I had specially throated for the 150 ELDX. At seating of 2.95 I'll be jumping the bullet .020. Running a DBM mag with no binder plate. Always wanted a 7-08 and this should be fun to shoot, I'll want to see what the 162ELDX does also. Have yet to shoot it.
Jay,
Came in a little heavier than I thought. All in without bi-pod and empty Flush fit Hawkins mag it is 10lb 12oz, but balances nicely.
Thanks!
That is a smoking hot rifle @PatriotHenry! Can't wait to see the results.
@Mcranch , pretty sure it is SA. I think Apollo is SA only.

Huntnful,
Attached is shots 11-20, on the rifle, (all I have had time to do plus this freakin hot weather) 2 groups. Load data at the top of the target. Second group is top left, was looking incredible until I choked on shot 5. This will not be my hunting load. I will be working that up with H1000 and the 156 Berger.

Thanks! Nice!
Mcranch,
It is a SA, had I planned better I would have built it on a LA, because Terminus does not build a medium. I did a 1-7.75 because HCA did not have a 1-7.5 in stock, and I had to get this rifle in action before Hunting Season. I am planning on running the 156 Bergers.
Thanks!
