Got one of Joel's Zeus actions, had International barrels spin up a 8 twist 6.5cm m24 contour barrel. TT diamond, J-Allen stock, 419 brake. Been dragging my feet on ordering up a new scope, so i borrowed a proven Bushnell tac off another rifle to make the first outing. I basically go the barreled action back in the mail, out on the trigger, dropped it in the stock dropped on the scope and grabbed some loads from my other 6.5cm. Just confirmed they weren't seated into the lands and headed for the range for some break in.
I did a one shot-clean for the first 5, shot 5 of a 140rdf load, then shot two three shot groups with the 143eld/41.4gr 4350 developed in my other 6.5.
First 3 shots with 143's, shots 11-13 from rifle.
Couple clicks up to get close to zero'd. 143's. Shots 14-16.
Need to do some load testing and stretch her out a bit, but so far its looking pretty promising!
