Thanks for the link. I've read that article several times over before and after putting the rifle together, but forgot they mentioned the n-133. I'm pretty sure the powders I have will work, I'm just trying to figure out where to start. I'm comfortable with Varget and have loaded tons of .223 (same ...

Just put a 26" 1:11 twist CBI barrel on a Savage action and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for loads. I'm pretty well stocked on bullets from working up the 204 and I have lots of Varget, n-140 and n-133 on hand. I have some Benchmark, H335, n-530 and n-135 as well. Any help would...

I've been using 27 grains of vv n-530 with the 26's, at 4250fps there was no problem with expansion. Down to 3 lbs and if I see any more I'm buying all of it! Yes, I am a greedy and American.

I got a DPMS 24" .920 fluted barrel on one of mine. I also rifles with Shilen and and Criterion barrels. That DPMS will shoot with any of em.

Hornady brass
CCI #450 primer
28 grains N-140
39 grain SBK
AR 15 with 24" 1:12 twist bbl
MV 3715fps

Keep packing that N530 in there or try a different powder. Those large variations in velocity lead me to believe that the charges aren't consistent. I go for the load that gives me the best accuracy at the highest velocity. I've settled on the 39gr SBK over 28gr N140 gettin 3715fps, groups avg aroun...

If the scope does what you want it to do and you think you got a good deal on it...you got a good deal. FWIW, I like the Nikon Buckminster 6-18. I have 2 and they are pretty sweet. Not impressed at all with the Vortex Viper 6-20x50 I recently bought as an "upgrade" though. The Buckmaster i...

The T3 Lite have a sporter barrel? If so just let it cool down before shooting again cause 3 shots is probably all your gonna get. I've free floated and glass bedded sporters every which way, but when the barrel gets hot ya gotta let it cool. I have a sporter bbl 243 I use as a deer rifle that is on...

Like the Boyds Thumbhole too. Have 2 of em. That Tacticool stock looks good too. Might get 1 for my next build.
