I just did a little test for bullet seating depth and got a consistant 2.300 with the 69 SMK and was gonna start loading at 2.290 and see how that goes for me.

I got a consistant 2.311 with the nosler 55gn BT but im unsure what depth to start these at.




cheers

nice rifle, good post, thinking of getting one now

I re-crowned mine whilst i had it threaded , fitted a timmney , and put it in a aics , clover leaf groups no problem its amazing how accurate , But i was not so impressed when i first got it , using a bipod and the original Houge stock 'to flexible' , ok if rested on a bag further back , i also use Remington 55gn with good effect not that its fussy .

I just bought a semi custom tactical .223 from rimfire magic, comes recrowned, bolt rails polished and a very crisp trigger, I will get it on the range soon but my first impressions are very good.
I have handled a few rem 700 recently and the actions and triggers have been gritty and heavy, I wanted the 9 twist so there were not many choices. I will post some shooting impressions as soon as I canbut sofar so good

OK just got back from the first range test, after a few rounds to adjust the scope I put in a 7 shot one hole group at 50 metres off a sand bag. The trigger is superb the load was 24.0 of n140 behind a 60 grain hollow point.
I will try some more ammo next week

Lovely, I've just changed mine to ai stock from my converted mag laminate, very accurate rifles

[neutron_bomb]

I restocked mine with a bell and carlsen with full length ally bedding and have just ordered a floorplate and magazine from rimfire magic to convert from internal mag to external mag.
it looks good and it shoots good.

the stock was put on friday so i have not had a chance to test the accuracy yet to see if it has improved.weather permitting i will hope to try it next month

Nice stock Zak - I ended up with a Bell and Carlsen 'Light Tactical' and a Rifle Basixx trigger (from SYSS) on mine and then fitted a Third Eye mag conversion.
Where do you obtain the GRS stocks please?
