my go to load in this rifle is RL16 with the 143 ELDX. Don't quote me but without looking I believe 42.5 gr, gets 2750fps. Target loads are H4350 with 140 ELDM and the 135gr Atip
Any suggestions DStroud? Thought about something different. it did shoot the Hammer Hunters good, 124gr i think

Any suggestions DStroud? Thought about something different. it did shoot the Hammer Hunters good, 124gr i think Every barrel is going to like a different charge. Every barrel is going to create a different speed, per charge. Every barrel is affected by no muzzle device, which brake, or which suppressor. Every barrel needs a load development completely to its' own. In order to shoot as tight as possible.

Well…how you like the stock? I haven’t seen it for sale so that in itself says something.  I’m leaning toward that stock for my 28 Nosler.

Put the two you don’t want up for sale and buy what you want now. You only live once and you don’t live forever.

I have the Z6 but its a little large and 6 ounces heavier. But I could use the scope money on a new project I'm toying with. You ever finish your rifle?

I agree with Judd……shoot it. If you aren’t satisfied with performance you won’t need a scope anyway!
