Happy to be here
we need more targets, so we can shoot at different ranges, and see how fast we can do that.
I have a 4" and another 12". Just need another real eastate sign frame... I mean target stand

Was able to get out to 700 on Sunday thanks to a friend in the mountains of Virginia. Beautiful country and an awesome day

TIKKA!!!Now just to get to the range!
This is a “jack of all trades” gun for me or I would have gone Tac A1
Ok. I have no patience. Added a VG6 Gamma 6.8 brake I had.

I thought about it but not sure I’m ready for 1,000 yet. I’m sure the rifle is plenty capable, just don’t have the DOPE for it. You going?Y’all need to bring those tikka’s to Hawks Ridge Sunday?

put my hands on a Savage 110 Desert Tac yesterday..
What bullets are you guys liking for handloads?
I like the sound of that. I’m a big fan of chassis and have been looking at those and the KRG. I had an X-ray on a R700 a few years ago and it was sweet.I've been very happy with RL-17 and Hornady 140gr EDL-M
FWIW....my Savage went from a ~0.8-1.0MOA rifle to a legit 0.4 by swapping out the Accustock with an MDT Chassis system.
H4350 and 140ELD or 147eld is what you seek.I like the sound of that. I’m a big fan of chassis and have been looking at those and the KRG. I had an X-ray on a R700 a few years ago and it was sweet.
I picked up some 4350 today. Was debating between that and some RL17. 8208 is showing high pressure at low velocities with the lighter bullets and not even recommended for 140+ (Which sucks because about 16lbs of it). Once I break in the barrel with the factory ammo I picked up and get some dies and bullets, I’ll start working up some loads.
I’m super excited about this cartridge.
Yep, dual purpose rig. The 143 also has an absurdly high BC and people have been smoking critters out to 700-800y with them. Figured one bullet to do it all.143 is a hunting bullet
The 140 ELDs are not discontinued. Not sure where you are looking but they are available. Also the 147 and 143 are totally different bullets.
My load that I use in my bergara.
Oal 2.919, o give is 2.290 runs right at 2800 FPS out of my 26” Wilson barrel with 42.8 gr 4350 in starline small primer brass. Cci450 primers. Single digit ES and SD
I used the same load in my ruger Hawkeye after shooting 100 rounds of factory for barrel break in, I get the same speeds and the same single digit Es/sd.
Shoots sub .5 moa in both rifles. I’m amazed the same loads works this well in 2 rifles.
I tried it in a friends custom Rem. With a bartlein barrel. SAME RESULTS!!! Insane. I’ve got the Jesus load here.
