Highly reccomend trying some 2213sc if you're having no luck.

I use the gold match in my 270wsm.
I couldn't get any 2213sc. Trying n550 and 2208 with 150 hot cores to start because its what i've got. Once I see what it shoots like I will get a bit more serious.
90 rounds of factory 165grn comes with the rifle too.

Well you do have great taste in Rifles! Would be interested to know what speeds its putting the factory 165 out at.

Not a new rifle , but a new scope

Questions, a better stock? Muzzle break instead of a Dpt? Going to be used on the island half the year 25-200m shots, the other half of the year Canterbury so out as far as I get comfortable shooting. No ideas,on a load yet, but using 2206h for the 223 so same powder would be handy, thinking 150 sst amax

gone for a new tikka.. too impatient and picky to wait for the right one to come up, which means someones guna get a mint deal on a l/h stainless 308 this weekend when one pops up!gotta go into kaikoura to get rings tomorrow as dont seem to have any 30mm ones in the cupboard. pic may get done tomorrow arvo, no dpt yet though

I have lots of stocks here if you need to change

Fire it first, you may appreciate the extra weight

Thanks for the offer. I will at least keep with the weight until I put a muffler on it. Do you have anything in carbon there you might sell?

I did but they sell fast

When I had my X bolt s/s in 270wsm a with can on it, it was very pleasant to shoot, even tho being really lightweight, can off, not nearly so much.
