Hey Mate
Can you PM the loads your using. I plan on using 175SMK's and 2217!!
Fireformed all 60 rounds today, started with max load of 2213sc from ADI for 280Rem, way undercharged!!! Still got to 1040m fine though!!!
Cheers

Thanks guys!!
The rifle is winning me over slowly. Gone are the days of muzzle breaks, and I think the 7mm ends up being a nice size for recoil/bug hitter/long range!!
The rifle is heavy.. and it is very pleasent to shoot. Fireformed the brass.. next week load development!!
Stay tuned!!!
Cheers

Dayum!!!! Nice rifles mate!!! I really need a longer barrel for my rifle, the 20" barrel in an A-5 just looks weird compared to those two awesome rifles!!!!! Who did the paintwork??

Nice rifles!
Who did you get to coat the metal work?
Also hows the March scope on the other bit of kit? Better then the S&B you had?
Cheers,
