The other was a beautiful switch barrel on a Bat action benchrest gun . Love the builds you do and to hang with Peter what can be said. Thanks to you both for all you share !

    H4350 and Reloder 16 have done well for me with 75eldm and 69gr TMK in 1-8 twist. Mine are also chambered with a Manson reamer. Really looking forward to seeing your load development and the lightweight build.

    Keep it clean especially running can, carbon ring pretty real on 22 creed.
    4350 is easy button on powder .
    75 eldm performs very well in the 1:8 .
    75 is magic spot on 1:8
    We tested both Hornady offerings in several 22 creeds , several twist rates and much faster. Poor results.

    There must be a typo, 88 ELDM with a velocity of 3300 fps from factory white box Hornady does not exist in the market yet. As far as the velocities with 88’s, 3300 isn’t feasible at that velocity unless you’re leaning on it.
    I’m guessing this was actually 80 grain ELDM @ 3300…

    I would say when it comes to choosing an action for a build the only one's worth considering are those with integral recoil lug and integral scope rail. Bolt raceways cut by EDM. Bolts machined as one piece. Gavin I'd love to see you get away from using a print in your builds. Having an action with bolt, barrel, reamer, and HS gauges is all you need to start machining. Take the action with disassembled bolt in it and measure your lengths by using calipers or a mike. Measure from front face of action to front of bolt lug for your length. For diameter use calipers on inside of front of action right up to where the threads begin and that will be your max diameter. If not, an integral recoil lug action add thickness of lug to length measurement. Also, it helps to know the TPI of the action. You do great machining work, and I can tell you have a process that suits you, so I don't expect to see you get away from prints. I did not mention the bolt counter bore. Me personally, I only like counter bore bolts. If using a cone breech bolt cut angle of bolt nose lugs until there is no contact. Counter bore, measure from bolt face to front face of bolt lug for depth most likely .150. Diameter measure with calipers outside sides of bolt lugs. Most likely .700. I cut .703. Reaming chamber, know how far the reamer traveled in bore when cutting and proceed with cutting until go gauge closes and go gauge with tape on rear dose not close. Measure tape to know headspace of chamber just cut. Awesome work you do Gavin, very cool shop and machines.

    Im running 1-8 with 75 ELDs 4350 at 3350fps. Peterson srp brass with a magnum primer. down the road i may try the 80s and possibly the eld-vt. It’s not perfect but I’m running with it for the time being. after a lot of testing i can make come pretty 3 shot groups of under 1/2moa. but 5 shot groups one will always open it up to 0.8-1moa. might be a barrel temperature thing im starting to believe

    Long time fan of the channel. Really disappointed to see you pushing stiller to your followers. They are the absolute worst action I’ve ever used. Accuracy is fine, durability sucks EVERY dick, and their customer service is worse. It’s the only action I’ve ever sold.
    For $200 more you can have an impact or several other quality actions in that price range. Stiller is garbage.
