Awesome!
When I checked yesterday the reloading page wasn't working . . .

I fell into a medium origin action may do a 25-7 prc, anyone have one chambered by Preferred Barrel Blanks yet?

Not on an Origin but had PBB spin up one for a T3X. The first 15 rounds in and she is showing potential.

How are you liking it? What speeds are you seeing? 22” tube?

20" shooting the 128 Gr ELD-X right over 3100. 66 Gr of N570 mild load to form brass.

I like your stock. Did you make it?

Yes sir, inspired by the craftsmen on this forum I grabbed a chisel and a block of wood.

It looks like you did a great job.

Just talking to myself here but in case anybody else wanted to use it, 54gr with the 134 produced 2920 and good accuracy for the first few rounds.

I had loaded up to like 57 in a ladder but 55.9 produced a small ejector mark at 3025 so I’ll pull the last few and probably just work off of 54gr for now.

What length barrel?

ended up with a 22 inch tube from PBB using the WTO reamer. thing is a hammer. settled on a slightly slower load with the 133 berger and N560 at 3170, N570 got me to 3260 with no pressure signs. dropped it into a mcmillan game warden, and its rapidly becoming my favorite rifle.

i have a 22 inch PBB, shoots lights out and has good velocity with N560 and 570. turn around time wasnt to bad, around 10 weeks.

Tanner,
Very nice - what twist on that barrel?

What barrel twist on that PBB? Thx

1-7.5” on that one Marty. Seems like it’s going to really perk with 134s and the 128s look very attractive too at .633 and should go over 3000.
