Here’s a rifle I just finished a few weeks ago, a 45 caliber smokeless muzzy. Rem 700 single shot action, Brux fluted bbl, radial port brake (shop made), Hankins DIS module system, TT trigger, and Game Warden Edge fill stock with NF 3-15x50. I made an insert for the floor plate that holds 5 primer modules.

Target was 4 shots and a fifth high right shot by shooters young son. First shots fired on target and I’m hoping he works out the vertical a bit. Bullet was 310? Gr Parker at 2750 with starting load of 4198.
 
Here's one I just picked up, Cooper 6.5x284, Bob Jury 8 twist barrel (26"), Farrell 20MOA rail and low rings, new Zeiss V4 6-24x50. I just finished mounting the scope, brass is in the mail, hope to put some rounds through her by the end of the week.

This is the first rifle I've bought in a long time that isn't an old M55 or M65 Tikka, feel like I'm cheating on the old girls but I have to say I'm pretty excited!

Was working with this rifle a bit. Found the factory trigger left a bit to be desired and swapped it for a Timney. I was using a few weight sorted Hornady cases, then my Peterson came in. Ran an overlap (across the Hornady charge weights) test up to 45.9 gr of RE26, then came back and ran the best vertical a second time and also a seating change with the same charge. I’ll use this load, as I have just enough RE26 to load the 8 weight sorted cases I have left.

Cauterucio 146gr tanget ogive.

Rifle is a M70 Winchester Coyote Light I’ve had for a bit.
