    All that was left to do was scope it and develop a load for it.
    The owner dropped off a new Bushnell Forge FFP scope for it which I fitted up and got to the loading bench.



    I necked up 50 new Lapua 6BR cases and neck turned them.
    I have a few old tried and true loads for my previous rifles but wanted to try some new powders too.








    BM 8208 showed promise with the 125gr TMK but didnt quite match my old loads, it topped out in velocity at just over 2800.



    After a bit of chrono work and fine tuning of my old tried and true AR2207 load it was off to the 100m range for 5 rounds on paper.









    Another .30BR that failed to disappointing in the accuracy department!
