Woof :yaeh am not durnk:

Didn't have any paper ones so just traced around 1 :thumbsup:

2.75" 500y group shot this morning prone in the tussock shooting up hill into the sun with a light breeze..
Happy enough with that

Productive morning in the lead shed, will confirm zero without the magnetospeed then quick annealing session a reload the fired cases. That should see me with enough hunting ammo for a while :cool:
...

This rifle has sentimental value, if I was purely chasing velocity I would've left it at 24" this project was as much about accuracy as it was about making a lightweight rig that was nice to carry,...

Loaded up confirmation rounds today....think I'll cut my losses and call it done :yaeh am not durnk:
Quite possibly the best group I've ever shot 3 rounds at 100y

Sooper warthog didn't have the same ring to it :yaeh am not durnk:

Yup pretty happy with it, would love to try some superformance powder at some stage as it gives more velocity, but in reality even at 2877fps it's more than enough out to further than I'm likely to...

So now I have a moral dilemma..... is my tikka barreled Sako now a Tako or a Sikka :yaeh am not durnk:

Really was starting to think I'd lost my mojo trying to get this rifle sorted, in hindsight I...

Will play with them again later.....

Finally got out to the range and got some consistent results.
Shot 6 different charge weights and all bar the lowest shot under an inch but surprisingly there was no POI shift as the velocity...

I will definitely tinker with them....its in my nature not to leave well enough alone :D

Tripped over some 178gn eldms so i have loaded up a ladder cause i love these pills and my experience using them in the 30/06 was very positive, hopefully ring a little more velocity outta the wsm...

Knew from the get go when I sarted researching 300wsm loads :oh noes: can't do much about it when I can't get the powder or rely on further stock being available if I did find a single tub. At least...

Looking at Hornady load data you could probably push those even faster with Superformance they quote 3100fps with a book max load of 69gn of superformance. ....man I wish I hadn't sold all my...

Further update, picked up the rifle from Zac yesterday after he re did the bedding and he noticed the when he was fitting the action back into the stock the scope bases were loose and I mean very...

Appreciate the suggestion bud, I have left it with Zac (North Canterbury Gunsmithing) to re do the bedding. Either way the amount of contact the barrel had with the fore I'd be very supprised if it...

Quick update.....after making sure the barrel was free floated it became apparent that the bedding through the taper where the barrel meets the action is not a match none of it is touching the...

I am not that quick to admit defeat :yaeh am not durnk: whilst frustrating I am learning a lot. Very close to buying factory ammo and seeing how that shoots but have a few more things to tidy up...

I won't be ruuning anything near hot, just don't need to :P

Steady on its only had around 30 max through it :yaeh am not durnk:

Well 3 steps forward and 2 steps back :oh noes: had some issues at the range today with what seemed like inconsistent grouping :pissed off:
Had me totally stumped till I got home and went over the...

Nope sounds like I'm coming for a visit, what you doing next weekend ?

Always learning man, and yeah I totally enjoy tutuing even if it drives me insane at times :yaeh am not durnk:

Have done that in the past when replicating a known factory load that shoots well in that rifle :o
Couldn't do that in this circumstance as never shot any factory ammo in this rifle. And Targex...
