Sweet rifle. Shoot well?

It shoots well. WTO does great work and it shows. It shoots 140 nosler E tips really well. 168 Berger's shoot pretty well. I only tried one or two 180 loads and then went back to the lighter bullets for what I used it for. I think it could shoot 180's with a little more work.

I do. PM me your phone number and I will text them to you. It's a handful of pictures.

After going back through my shooting notes, I'm revising my round count. I count about 220 shot through it at targets. Another 30 shot at animals. I put the round count at 250 total.

 

[bbraden]

For posterity- my 140gr load development.
