Well I have had my package for several weeks now but I've been so busy that I just finished load development. Just wanted to say thank you to Kirby for his excellent work. Load testing was easy, I would have taken any one of the loads I tested. All testing was done at 322 yards and not one load was over 1.9." The rifle was a Sendero 7mm ultra, Kirby blueprinted the action, chambered a 28" Lilja barrel to 300RUM. Installed break, holland recoil lug and gave it an outstanding bedding job. This is going to be one sweet "Doe smoker" The recoil is very noticably less than my vsf 308! An absolute pleasure to shoot. I bedded a ken farrell 20moa base to the action, badger rings, and topped it with a nightforce 8-32x benchrest. My camera is not the best so it is hard to give the gun the justice it deserves.
The groups on the bottom right are at 322 yards with the berger 210 and 89.7 gretumbo one measured .889 ctc and the other measured 1.038 ctc The groups on the bottom left are at 322 yds with the 220 mk one was with 89 gr retumbo .907 ctc and the other was with 89.3g retumbo .947ctc
I am ecstatic about the performance of this gun! I think with some more fiddling with seating depth I might can shrink them a little more. Once again thank you Kirby!
