I'll bet that thing is a sweetheart. Gotta love the Liljia, barrels. They are a work of art. 5r? Just curious!
Had a brux, four groove on my .280. Fast barrel, cleaned great, never fouled!
Browning actions slick too!
I know what scope you have too!

OK what scope are you guys using? Can't drop mention like that and not have people like me curious.

Can't tell no one, but Meopta, Optika6, 3-18x50, BDC, with ambient lite illuminated crosshair. Bet you can't look through one, and not buy it. Optics are insanely clear, tracks awesome, and did I say clear! It's almost like getting a $1300 scope, half price.

Thank you, not trying to hijack thread but curiosity got the better of me. Have looked at them and talked to Doug about them. Money as always the hold-up

We're your 168 bullets deep seated, or at 2.8ish? I know the Bergers, gets like to jump. Thanks, 7

Doug will set you straight, and I get the money thing. Never thought I'd own a European scope, but this thing really caught my eye, pardon the pun!Thank you, not trying to hijack thread but curiosity got the better of me.

Yes, the C.O.A.L. is right at 2.800" and I'm seating bullets about .030 off the lands. I'm not overly impressed with group size, so I'm going to adjust seating depth out at .020, .015 and .010 off lands to see if accuracy improve

right now I have 5 loads with 4064 and 139 sierra. Will see how they work out. Going to try few other suggestions later on and compare
.My buddy is building similar gun for his sons graduation gift except barrel,After all every 18 yo needs a AR-10. He opted for a deadshot barrel instead on McGowen I am going with.His statement how much better can it be and at 100 bucks he does not see it value.IMO if I buy best quality I can and don't get results wanted its either me being bad or what I am buying not as good as many have said,figure first probably most accurate. At least its not because I did not go extra yard or two. Not saying anything wrong with deadshot barrels.Heck may be better time will tell or the holes in targets will. LMAO

I hsve shot that bullet, in a super accurate 700p, in seven mag, now these were the yellow box. That rifle would shoot 1/4 minute groups, @200. I actually shot a .189, three shot group once with it. I still hsve some of those bullets, same lot I believe, and I may just give them a whirl. I have Rl17, and Rl16 as well. I'm not a Berger hunting bullet fan, but the target bullets, I can tolerate. The 4064 might be a scosh, too fast for the heavies. I think it to be fine for lighter bullets though. Just a thought. I think the RL17 is going to be my main ride, if not, the RL16. Let me know how you make out.

On another, but related note, is anyone here using Hornady brass? I'm seeing soft neck tension. I've seen it in my sons Creedmoor also. My resized federal 308 brass is better, but hsve to let it grow, as 308 is shorter. Thoughts?
