Thanks guys!
The load I'm currently experimenting with is:
178 gr Hornady ELD Match
Norma brass
CCI primer
44 gr of Varget
2.900 OAL
Unfortunately, the longest range I can access at the moment is "only" 550 yards - but I'm trying to get special permission to use a nearby military 1000 yard range a couple of times per month (I believe I'm more likely to hit a lottery jackpot than getting access to their range though...).
The barrel will be a Lothar Walther. Unfortunately, my order was delayed and won't arrive until sometime next week so I will be using the stock barrel until the new one has arrived. Letting the rifle sit for another week or so is not an option A local gunsmith and long range shooter will be doing the fitting and truing as that is way beyond my knowledge I'm currently using a Timney trigger but have been thinking a while about changing it to a Jewel. What do you guys think? Is it worth the extra bucks upgrading it to a Jewel?
