Been lusting after a good left handed 308 for a while. Got a good deal on this gun. It has a 24" heavy threaded barrel, uses AICS mags, accustock, accutrigger and 20MOA rail. Topped it with a Vortex 4-16x44 30mm scope. After some limited barrel break-in it grouped pretty well with a handload I had for my son's rifle using J-words. Did pretty well with the cast bullets I had loaded, so after some fun blasting, I got serious with load development. It seems to really like the Lee C309-170F cast of wheel weights with copper gas check and Alox lubed. 27gr H335 seems to be the ticket. Should be 1800fps or a little less.
J-word target at 100 yards. 1/2" grid squares. No idea why the flyer
