300gr VLD Hybrid@ 1700M

My load workup started at 100 meters checking for ES and seating depth. They liked to "jump" 10 thou. But 100 meters doesn't always tell the whole story...

This five shot group was at 788 meters. Showing promise!! There was a slight breeze right to left. Top to bottom looked good.

Closer look at the AR 500 plate...

This morning I went out and shot, starting at 900M, 1110M then to 1700 meters, recording my runups. After tweaking JBM at home, it looks like a G7 of 0.422 did the trick....velocity is 2838fps. I had three shots in 12" circle on a large granite
rock at 1700 meters.

The barrel is a 28" Bartlein MTU, 1-9.7"

I'm curious as to the weight of the rifle as shown? Currently got a similar one in progress. A Defiance action, Bartlien 28" MTU 1-9" twist, Thunderbeast 338p-1 suppressor, Manners T4A, Nightforce NSX 5.5-22x50, and Atlas bipod. Any predictions on weight..........other than HEAVY? Barrel, and bolt will both be helically fluted by Kampfeld.
