    Like an Ackley, but with a 30 degree shoulder instead of 40. Currently only push 140gn VLD at 2661fps, but pretty tight groups.

    Can get them up to 2800fps, but the accuracy is ass. Need to play a little more to get this tighter.

    I was looking at the stainless mini Howa 223 ($1099 at H&F) with a nikko stirling panamax scope for goats and the occasional fallow (already have a Marlin 7mm08). And then I picked up the Remington Model 7 with the Nikon scope for $1799............ I think it may go on layby.... It was so much nicer to point etc, and came with a much nicer scope..... Decisions, decisions.....

    The model 7's are awesome little rifles, if the size suits you. I love them. I have a new stainless model 7 in 223 rem, love it and it shoots very well indeed.

    Continuing on with the near new 300saum that I bought, and couldn't get to shoot, it at last is getting there.

    First I had the lug area bedded, and then I took to the copper build up. This happens after every several shots. But when clean I was getting groups in the 1" range.

    Last night I scrubbed every vestige of copper out of it (10 or so blue patches - after about 20 rounds), and then scrubbed/lapped it with autosol. I also seated a new batch of 165 grn Sierra's 90 thou off mag length (69 grn 2213sc).

    Hooray. The groups are now hovering around .75", soI feel I'm getting there.
    My confidence was so buoyed that on the way home I dropped it into Mitch to be threaded for a DPT suppressor.

    The pic is on its side. 10mph wind R to L.
