So I got this rig together in like February then tore a ligament in my thumb on my shooting hand and had not been able to get to the range till this weekend. I was still wearing a brace but I couldnt wait any longer. So Im shooting a 6.5x284. barrel by john pierce at pierce engineering. Mcree folding stock with an atlas bipod. Nightforce 5.5x22 in nightforce rings. I was shooting both 140gr SMK and 140gr Berger VLD's over 52gr H4831sc and CCI 200 primers in lapua brass. Unfortunately i didnt check my chrono before i left and the battery was dead when i arrived. Shooting was at 100yds as i was testing and sighting. i did put a few rounds down range on steel 500yds was no sweat at the round really seemed to handle the 10 mph gusts no problem.
100 yd groups seem promissing. some horizontal movement. I seemed to have some issues gettin a solid NPOA. Im sure my big ass wrist brace didnt help but i think im going to have to play with the sizing on the stock.
