[QUOTE="Rockchuck27, post: 1777984, member: 93781"] I had one spun up a couple months ago by straightjacket in Evanston. I am a lefty and wanted a medium action to allow for seating the max out longer so I went with a tikka paired with hca's new longer mags for the short mags. So far I have fire formed 50 cases and am now working up a load for the Hammer 177gr using n565. If that doesnt work, I have some h1000 in reserve. RL26 is like un-obtainium these days or I would have picked up some of that too. I will toy with the berger 195's after that and have some 180 vld's kicking around too. I need to get out and shoot this some more! build details: Left hand tikka t3x donor in 300 win mag. mesa precision altitude stock 22.75" proof 1:8.4 twist sendero contour barrel threaded for suppressor use YoDave trigger spring upgrade to factory trigger HCA new mags allowing for 3 rounds of short mags stuck with factory bottom metal for now (waiting to see new HSA bottom metal that will be out in a while) I still need to send off the bolt for fluting (probably will use LRI), then will get it ceracoated and call it a day. I have it topped with a bushnell lrhs 4.5-18 in hawkins tikka base/ring combo with built in bubble level to help keep weight down. I am hoping to get into the 2800-2850 range with the 177 gr hammer hunters. [/QUOTE]
