hey panman good to meet ya, I haven't worked on any loads as of yet but have plenty of brass, and a set of lee dies to work with, I tell ya the factory 115 fmj from remington is ok, but for some reason I'm only getting 1" groups, from 50 yards out too 200 yards get a 1" group all the way through with 50 yard intervals, could very well be a real tack driver with differnt loads my barrel has only 60 rounds through it as of right now most likely the groups will tighten as the rifle is shot and cleaned shot and cleaned with up to 200 rounds or so the remington and hornady ammo is not cheap, well I guess I havent bought any ammo in 10 years been reloading for a number of cartriges and only untill feb, when I bought this barrel, all mounting hardware and scope is leuopld and lock tited so I know everything that came be as close to perfect as that can get, buit have been thinking of useing hrornady and barns bullets , I noted that reminting has some 110 grain 270 diam psp's that looked rather intriging, thios round is surprisingly fun and low recoiling that it becomes a[pleasure to shoot.

Glad to meet you too KJG,

Im still waiting for dies.Where are ya geting your brass?.I dont think you bought all that brass in fully loaded roundslol.I know that  they sell around here for $29.00+. not to many people can afford to buy very many rounds at that price [for 20]lol.Cant wait to begin loading some.I have only shot about 12rds so far.[tooooo expensive],for me anyway.
Thanks for shareing.Please let me know how you make out.When i get set up i will let you lnow how the haveyer bullits do.I live in VT.and big game is always on my list.lol.I just love to hunt chucks and a lighter load is next on the list,lol.Have fun,and be safe.
Did you say that you are geting 1" groups out to 200yds?,if so than i feel sorry for anything you put the cross hairs on.pan.
