Yes, very nice. Please let us know how it shoots.

Nice!

Update on handloads. 120 Speer Grand Slam also sub moa at 200 yards. RL22 powder. 100 grain Hornady spire point is excellent but unfortunately discontinued. 117 Hornady spire point boattail also very good.

I have a 4x4 with the laminate stock in 30-06. It does very well with 150 Sierra Gameking and H4350 powder. Looks like you’re doing pretty well.

Recently purchased a 25-06 Banshee. Very nice rifle for the price. Cerakote finished rifle for around $375 shipped. I have a lot of much more expensive rifles including custom guns. This thing is a bargain. So far, this rifle likes 117 grain Sierra GameKing with Reloder 22 powder. 200 yard...

You are correct sir on the reference to the 4350s.

Same here. RL-19 for the 338 with 200-225 grain bullets. Sometimes RL-22 is a bit better with the 250s. Nowadays, I prefer H4350 to IMR 4350.

Ditto on the 180 XTP. Had good luck with AA#7 in the Glock 20.

Re: My 4X4 .388 Win Mag and my next 4x4 Those are very decent groups. I know how challenging it is to sit behind a 338.

Thank you. You are absolutely correct about twice the price. I don't know how often I could match this performance but the rifle is certainly capable. When the weather is suitable we'll stretch it out farther just for fun.

Not trying to be a pest, but have you had a chance to shoot that rifle? If so, how's it working? Thanks.

Shot two three-shot groups at 200 yards yesterday. The 165 Hornady SPBT went into 2" the first group. Concentrated harder on the next three and they went into 1 1/8". Average velocity was 2954 fps. Very pleased. You just can't beat this rifle for the price.

The SSTs are a boat tail with a polymer tip. Some rifles prefer the regular Hornady spire point boat tail to the SST. We'll see about this one. I have a couple more loads ready to try. Soon as I get a chance.

Thanks, guys. Quick report: Shot the 4x4 today to get it on paper. I used my primitive bore sight method at 25 yards and got it ready for 100 yards in just two shots. Shot a three shot group with 180 Hornady SSTs over 56 grains of H4350. They averaged 2746 fps for the three shots. They grouped...

Here's the rifle. Just experimenting with photos. Will try to put up more.
