My son and I got invited to go hunt with Bill at his place next weekend (www.circlewcranch.com )

He knows I shoot a 6.8 and we have been discussing load data the last few days

Cool, another top notch builder doing a 6.8!

I know it's a 16", 1 in 11, SPC11 barrel

Can't wait until next weekend!!!

So he confirmed it? A Wilson Combat 6.8 would be great. They use nice triggers in their rifles, and the builds seem well put together. I can't wait for your report, and good luck with the hunt. Have fun!!

 

[ccoker]

yes..
he's got 1k of SSA brass en route

he's an avid reloader and is trying all sort of stuff

should make for a fun time!

I'm looking forward to hearing about this new rifle, and your hunt.

Very good news!

Are you taking your new Trijicon 1-4X ? Just curious because that scope is still on my radar for a future build.

 

[ccoker]

yes, taking mine of course!
I think he's in the research phase

I told him I think a fluted stainless 17" barrel would be a good seller

hoping my 12 year old gets his first hog!
he's killed 3 deer but no hogs yet
had him pracing in the backyard yesterday evening
I have a Beeman .20 cal pellet rifle with a scope and had him practing behind the ear shots on a simulated pig shoulder/head out of cardboard at about 60 yards, about a 2" group (the gun will litterally drive tacks at 30 yards)
then had him shooting small 3-4" diameter balloons, put 3 up and he nailed each one first shot
giving him a 1, 2, 3 second count down to get on target and take the shot

more practice is in order!

he will be shooting his 243, my '59 Sako 243 with a cut down stock and handloaded barnes 85g and a Burris ill ret FF2 3-9

SHould be another great 68 for the market.
