planning to attend saturday. just making sure, is this a go rain or shine? thanks

been a while since i have looked at this thread so figured i would see what was new. finally got around to chronoing my rounds. the 47.9 gr of RL-22 averages 2970 w/ ES of 29. the 48.2 gr load averages 3007 with ES of 14. from what i have seen those velocities seem pretty high. i have shot a few...

No pressure signs. Just where is was seeing a node with my ocw test, just kind of a middle of the road load. So I wanted to try the ladder test and see how it looked with the same loads. Do I need to shoot at a further distance? I was under the impression they would be more distinct groups per...

Rifle is a savage 110, and shilen match barrel finished with the brake at 29". Been working on some load development for this rifle, and still kind of breaking it in. These are rounds 66-78 through the rifle. Ladder test results. Shot this at 550 yards. Using 142SMK, rl22, lapua brass, and...

Ladder test results. Shot this at 550 yards. Using 142SMK, rl22, lapua brass, and jumping .010" (3.115). Velocity is approximately 2850. Results seem a little inconclusive. Think I'm just going to use the 47.9 load, work with my oal a bit, and just shoot the thing. Powder charge- Blue- 47.0...

I get into some night fishing during the summer for bass. Otherwise spring, fall, and winter i'm crappie fishing.

Thanks for all the info. Gonna work around the 47-48 area. Used to not care about velocity, but was trying my hand shooting 77grn 223 rounds out to 800 and a little more, ranging with the reticle and a mildot master (practical long range or whatever you want to call it). When you look at the...

Wanted to show off my 6.5x55 my buddy just finished up for me last week. Also had a question on load development. Rifle is built on a savage 110 long action, shilen 8 twist barrel, ptg bottom metal, and modified the savage three screw trigger to what is shown, breaking just under 2 lbs. Now on...

Just a heads up, Lapua brass went on clearance today from midway. I just picked up my 6.5x55 last week from the smith. Had 90 pieces and was going to gather some more funds but the price was too good to pass up. Figured I would let the other 6.5x55 shooters know.

Ptg 110 long action dbm in a Boyd's tacticool stock. Did take some minor inletting to get everything working right. Aics mags, 6.5x55 swede. Nothing real major though. Picking rifle up Saturday. Will post more pics for everyone then. Just thought I would give you a few teasers.
