Nice. Greg does good work

It better damned well shoot good!
I will be running several factory loads, Winchester 140, Hornady 140 ELD match and 143 Eld X
Also have some Berger 130 OTM Hybrid bullets to load

If the 143 Eld-X shoot well I would be happy to have one bullet for long range steel and hunting. I like the 178 AMAX for a 308 because they work well at long range or hunting.

I'm waiting on glass and bipod. Before I take my new toy out. I will be hand loading using RL-17 and H4350, trying to get hold of the ELDs for reloading is like unicorn horn. Bergers, Hornady BTHP match 140 and matchkings galore tho.

Well, hopefully with a little break in and load development, you can wring out some accuracy out of that thing. Wink

It must not like the 142 grainers.  It missed the dot entirely but did so with consistency.

All these posts about custom builds and 6.5 Creedmoor is giving me the bug too.  I've used Southern for Bartlein barrels but have to rethink about them doing the complete build for me.
