Yep, Boyds stock, Pacnor Super Match grade 1-11 twist, 24 inches long, .600 at the muzzle, Ziess Conquest 4.5-14x50 side focus




Shoots pretty well with Nosler 32gn BT, 21.6gn ar2207, rem 7 1/2 primers in Lapua Match grade 222 brass necked down.



I have since dropped the load down to 21.0, shoots just as good, there are 5 in that little hole. Another one for the wallet. I tried 39gn Sierra, they shot nearly as good with 5 shots going into 3.8th inch, but I decided to keep on with the 32gn bullets as they shoot flatter and faster out to 250 mts or so. 32gn Hornady Zmax shoot to the same poi, and they are even cheaper than the noslers at 88 bucks for 500. Everyone over here seems to be going mad on the Sierra 39 gners, I have seen prices around 50 bucks a hundred, if you can get them. I have another 1000 Zmax on order, that should just about last this barrel out.
