Morning all,

Like the title says, been lurking the site for at least a decade but never had anything to contribute. I finally adulted and am building the dream rifle I've wanted since I was a kid, and will be looking for others' experiences with similar rifles and some info on handloads. I've been shooting since the age of 4 (20+ years) and reloading with dad since not long after that, and am finally setting up my own reloading station.
My rifle:
Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range in .338 Lapua mag
Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50mm (budget-friendly scope to start, more $$ optic will come later)
Cheap Caldwell bipod off of my old rifle (again, something to get it stabilized while I research and save for a nicer one)

Can't wait to join the discourse and talk ELR loading/shooting!
