seeing as the 5000 has a scope to it and has already been proven as they shoot the factory ammo out of it to build turret you are not just hoping the gun will shoot the factory ammo well. sounds like a great deal to me for someone wanting to shoot factory ammo
A blaser can be had for a decent price
1 time cost
1900 for stock which comes with trigger mechanism
535 for bolt housing
463 for bolt
1000 for barrel ready to shoot.
after this initial cost you can get a brand new caliber by adding a barrel for 1000 more. If it is a different bolt head then...
Have a 280 AI coming and want to buy or trade for some 168 bergers or 162 eldx bullets. I have lots of different stuff stocked up so let me know what you are looking for if not wanting to just sell some
just got done load developing my 25sst with the 135 berger. shot pressure from 57 to 61 grains of h1000. the 59, 59.5, and 60 charge were right on top of each other. decided to load 59 to 59.9 in .3 grain increments at .025 off the lands
felt that was a great node so loaded 59.6 at .025...
i own 3 25 sst's
Moslty shoot 131 but have one set up to shoot hammers. Have a ton of 133's but have not loaded for them yet. I have know doubt it will shoot them great as well.
You are going to find nodes all over the place with the 25sst. i had great loads that worked from 3050 to 3300
