[QUOTE="Shoalwater, post: 1521882, member: 65420"] Just got done building mine, although I haven't even fired a round through it yet. Will be probably April before I get a chance to start load development, just sold our house, and all my reloading stuff will be in storage until the new house is complete in March. Gun weighs right at 9 lbs ready to hunt. Up at elevation in the mountains, it should carry 1500 ft-lbs of energy all the way out to 1000 yds, with the 147's. Although I feel confident in the guns and my ability to shoot game much further than 500, I do plan to limit the range on Elk to 600ish being a 6.5. Curtis Custom Axiom (Although might of done a Lone Peak Razor Ti action, would save about 10 to 12 ozs, if I was really trying to cut more weight) Proof Sendero Lite 24" Trigger Tech Manners EH1 APA bottom metal Alpha Mag (Probably go to a Curtis 3rd mag once available) March 3-24-52 Seekins Rings 6.5 SS shooting ELD 147 until the Berger 156's come out [/QUOTE]
