My newest rifle build is complete! This is my first full custom rifle and it's built on the Pierce "Shadow" and chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I couldn't be happier with it! I did 100% of the work building this rifle including manufacturing operations on the action! I'll list the build specs below. Thanks!

-McMillan Game Scout

Nice rifle. Where did you get the two piece pic?
The site doesn't list it. I have a steel pierce that's almost done that I don't want the full rail on.
 
Some groups from initial seating depth testing with a starting load. 100 yards, 3 shot groups. I was battling heavy mirage and the sun in my eyes so I had to shoot between cloud cover haha.

Nice!
 
Super nice!

looks like you might need to try just touching or .005 off ----- just to see..
Personally I don't like bullets right at touch. I typically start everything -.010 off just to be safe. I think .005 off might be worth trying though. Thanks
