    This is what my 7mm WBY Mark V just got turned into; 300 win mag 26" number 3 1in 10 Trueflite barrel.
    Topped off with a Terminator T2 14X1.

    Then later on she's off for STUG stock and mounting of my Vortex HST whilst I run the barrel in and get some loads developed and then it's time for a XTR 2 4-20. This will take some time to complete lol.

    New cooper M51, in 6x45, 20" tube, 1-10 twist, fitted with a Swarovski Z5 3x18x44 ballistic turret,
    had it out today for the first few shots, very impressive accuracy, 75gr serria Hp, doing 2950, and sub 1/2" for four shots, at 100m repeated three times, and 65gr v-max just a touch bigger groups, and 1/2" lower at 100m, I like it.

    Faark thats a sweet unit man! You should be able to get over 3k with the 75gr Sierra HP, I'm using H335 for 3150fps but I'm 3" longer in the tube.

    Just tested out my new suppressor (MAE Compact 42) and boy its quiet! Stoked also that considering the wind and rain today, it still shoots not bad. I'm sure on a nice day I could get this down to .2 or less but an average of around .4 under these conditions out of a standard T3X (only put into an HS3 chassis) leaves me pretty excited with whats to come.

    Cheers Gibo, it's a neat rifle and I reckon it can be pulled in closer in better conditions and when I learn to shoot better

    The can is still quite heavy, I'd guess around 600-700grams. It's the most quiet can I've heard.

    Nice, Id have a couple more coopers if they were easier to get down here.
    Feel like a courier run to NZ ?

    Did Trueflite fit the barrel?

    What standard model t3x are you running in that stock? Looks like a standard profile barrel, but only the CTR (at the moment) are running the 6.5 creedmoor. Shit hot shooting. Creedmoor is quickly coming my go to

    Yeap was a CTR donor in 6.5 with the new 24" barrel model With it's popularity, I thought I needed to give it a go. It's very nice to shoot with it's light recoil and still good to know it is hard hitting. I can recommend it Just got into reloading for the first time too and am enjoying the 6.5 experience at the press! The first change was mounting a DPT 20MOA rail which is very nice.
