I finally got to take the new rifle from Nate Dagley to the range.
I was just going to be shooting and cleaning the barrel for the break in process so I just brought some factory ammo along rather than waste my Berger VLD handloads.

I shot number 1 just from my rough boresight at 100 yards.....dialed the vertical and horizontal in on shots 2 and 3....I was cleaning between each shot and then fired shots 4,5,6 and 7. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was just using the bipod...no bags....no rests. My brothers were using them for their deer rigs on the next bench. I let them combine ot fire some more shots with my new toy on the next target with the same results...5 shots of Rem. factory loads in one ragged hole!

I will be firing more in the coming weeks and working the handloads up to longer range...i'll keep the results coming online here!

Thanks Nate

Re: SSG 300 RUM 1st trip to the range

Nice setup. Whats the B.C. of those berger's? I got the 208 gr Hornady's with .648 B.C. printing some nice groups out of the ultra mag. I live in Martinsburg WV and would like to come up and head to the range with you some time to stretch those ultra mags out!

Nate builds some awsome rifles.

be sure to post results after the barrel has 50-60 rounds through it and you work up a load , it should realy start to shoot
