    Might chase some Warne rings down, I have a THLR cheek-rest coming Friday to fix this.

    Ladder loads for the 175 ELD-X all done.

    Off to the range tomorrow with the LabRadar then will load up for this Saturday's Gunslinger Hunter shoot.

    I will do my load testing with the 160 TMK and 162 ELD-X next week.

    Only thing left on the rifle will be a cerakote job after this weekends shoot. Graphite black bolt and Tungsten everywhere else.

    Interesting.
    Something I hadn't thought about with carbon barrels. No change in contour so you can't get the scope as low.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Yeah sorry mate. Wasn't talking about your rifle in particular (which is awesome by the way), just a general observation about barrels that have no taper from the chamber area.

    Attended the Gunslinger Hunter Challenge in the weekend.

    Brilliant group of guys and the rifle performed flawlessly.

    Managed a 5 shot group at 200m that was pretty awesome! (Pic 2)

    The 600m Group was 30mm! 3 shots though and i didn't get a chance for a photo, still pretty happy.

    Just putting together a video now and will put it up soon.

    The Ti brake while super effective is not my cup of tea so that's likely to be for sale soon.
