Are you planning to use a bipod? What I see is a wonderful start. What kind of ranges are you expecting to encounter? Same question about terrain.

Brake, level….
Try finding some reloader 23 if possible, but definitely off to a great start!

Like mentioned before. A good small knife sharpener can be had for just a few dollars.
Have an Atlas bipod and a carbon fiber tripod with ball head and arca attachments.
Looking to try H1000
I did have 5 pounds of RL-23 in my cart yesterday and then cancelled it.
Please list any favorite loads. I understand to start lower and work up. Just looking for ideas.

I shoot at a range mostly out to 950 but do occasionally go out to 1450.
This rifle is also intended for deer hunting in medium terrain. I say medium because I'm not capable of rough steep stuff anymore. Hunted in Utah and Oregon the last few years. Also shoot pigs occasionally. I have been able to limit my hunting ranges to 300 for deer and 450 for elk.
Those are some great rifles! Thanks for the tip on the muzzle break from Piercision and the H4350 load data.

You might want to try a couple of bipods on friends rifles on different terrain. Most of where I hunt a short bipod is too short and a tall bipod is too tall. At least for me. A medium Harris is where I landed. I also found that the swivel head mount screw is very valuable in the field.
Yes, I really wasn't sure about the swivel stud attachment as I have always used a picatinny rail to attach my bipod. My bipod legs are to short so I did get the 5" or so extensions. I've only used them a few times in the field because of the height of surrounding brush. Other times I have shot off a tripod or Armageddon large bag Stuffed in my backpack.

You are missing cubic volume.
I have goodluck in my 6.5 prc with RL25.
Bottom metal? H1000 works great in the 6.5-284 Norma.
