No update today. Wind is howling here. I'll go at it again tomorrow.

Wind was howling here in North AL as well.

I have rl26 and retumbo to put in it also. I have alot of different bullets too. Might run some 147eldms next. I love that bullet. But it might be just a tad to long on the bearing surface for this build. Probably try the accubonds and the partition. I like regular bullets for hunting. I'm just shooting the 140hybrids up I have from my match rifle. Going to the 153 hybrid in my 1000 yard rifle. If there are some other standard bullets you guys like tell me. The Sierra game changer is going to get a try also.

I'm planning on giving the 147s a try first.

How do you like that V6? It is on my short list for my new rifle.

 

[25WSM]

So far it's real nice. Best glass I've seen this side of a Swarovski.

Don't anybody worry about derailing this thread. Ask what you want. I will be adding updates as I move along with load development. Including different powders and bullets too.
Shep

You did not mention what twist?

 

[25WSM]

8 twist.

So I cleaned the barrel the rest of the way yesterday. The day I shot the first 4 rounds I ran 1 patch of wipe out excellerator and 2 patches of wipe out and let it sit 10 minutes. I repeated this step and left it sit over night. Yesterday I ran a wet patch to see how much more copper would come out and the patch came out totally white. I've never had a barrel clean that easy during break in. Not even my Lederer or ABC barrels which I consider to be the 2 best barrel makers.

I finally heard back about the trigger only going to 1.5 pounds. They want me to take it out and send it to them. So I'm going to have to break the rifle down and put in another trigger to get this load development going again. We had some really nasty storms yesterday including a tornado 25 minutes from my house.

@Bullmark Do you know how much free bore your chamber has? 3150 fps sound very nice.

 

[Equalizer]

Tagging in for the load data/development.

 

[25WSM]

Just shot these.
