    Yip this will be a lengthy thread boys so sit back and grab a brew, Ill add to this write up over the next few days and as time allows


    Now before I even start on the journey to velocity and accuracy I need to make very clear that high pressure loads in my rifles are not an option, even more so in this particular project rifle as it was destined to be bedded into a custom Bullpup chassis I have been working on which places my right nostril over the breech.

    I guess what Im trying to say is there was no room for error in this process so I needed everything to be right with my final load to feel at ease when pulling that trigger.

    During the load development stage I had it set up in MDT LSS chassis and glassed with a Tac Vector Optics Paragon 6-25x55.
    I started out with the full 24" 1-8" twist factory Remington tactical profile barrel (same as the varmint). The following months of load testing, chrono work and paper punching was done in this format.
