Berks County here. Whistle Pigs, Pheasant, Deer, Squirrel. Basically if it flys it dies, if it Brown its down (as long as I have the tags and it fits into the antler restriction)

Have you tried powder pro 2000? I have gotten my best groups with the heavier stuff with that. The 6.5 twist WC barrel I have does well from Berger 80's up to the Sierra 95gr. Does ok with the 75gr SMK with CFE 223. Mine is built on a PSA lower, Aero upper. Nice Rig you have there!

What Powders are you using? Bolt or Gas Gun?

I love my Valkyrie in that gas gun configureation that I put together. 6.5twist really love the heavies. Once I get the jump I need, it should be in the .3 or better catagory. Low recoil, powder grains less than 30. Gottal ove that a pound of powder goes a long way

Welcome from Eastern Pennsyltucky!

Well........ I would have to pick my 760 in 30.06, Tikka 270wsm & .224 Valkyrie gas gun.

Gas Gun. 95gr SMK-25.8gr, 90gr SMK-26.5gr, Berger 85.5 LRHT- 26.7. Primers look good, so do necks

Thank you Len for Hosting this site. Through this site, I have learned so much on Building, Loading, Shooting and tuning Long Range rigs. It has really fueled the passion. The people on here have always been great! Thanks again Len!!

I am working on the 90's & 95's. I have to check my head space. I know they like approx .020 jump. I have gotten approx 1" groups with mine if I use Powder Pro 2000-MR. CFE223 is a no go for the heavies. Works great with the 80gr Nos Custom Comps

I just thought I would add a few pictures of the Ol' Girl

The only Bullet that the CFE shot well was the 80gr Nosler Custom Competition which gave me a .462 5 shot group, including flyer. I have multiple heavies (90gr SMK, 95gr SMK, 85gr RDF & 85.5 Bergers) that 2000-MR pusses much better, the faster, the better. I have some loaded to .4- .7gr over...

Yes and no. I think it is more of a break in/ powder issue. I can shoot the factory Fed 75gr all day, no issues. Now, the only issue was the lower charge weight of the CFE. No Issues with the 2000-MR

Thanks for the interest, So, since that time this is what I have done. I finally was able to get to the ranger and work on the all the different load combinations that I had. 2 Powders (CFE223 & Powder Pro 2000-MR) 7 different Bullets (90gr SMK, 95gr SMK, 85.5gr Berger , 85gr Nos RFD, 80gr...

I have a 8twist Brux I am willing to part with. Full length tube, 3 groove, cut rifling.

I finished my Valk during the Covid shut down .. I have run 75gr Fed Factory ammo through it and some 90 MK Factory ammo. I have a few loads worked up and I am waiting for the warmer weather. I built mine on a Stoner upper, a PSA lower, Wilson combat 6.8 BCG, Wilson Combat 24" 1:6.5 twist...
