[QUOTE="Flintlock shooter, post: 2973381, member: 105834"] About 4 years ago I bought 600 pieces of Alpha SP 22 Creedmoor brass, Whidden dies and a reamer. A couple years before that I had gotten a Defiance Deviant Elite action off a prize table. Never used any of it.....until the day before yesterday. I got a 8 twist barrel blank from Ace Barrels to have a 26" finished length and chambered it up. Did a little load development yesterday with 75gr ELDM/StaBall 6.5 and to say I'm happy is an understatement. I will possibly have to continue to tweak my load a little because the pics below are shots 11, 12 and 13 thru this Ace Barrel. I was VERY lucky with my starting load/OAL being so close to what seems to work. This rifle is only going to be used for Thermal hunting so I'll mount and zero my HALO-XRF today and be out looking for coyotes with it tonight. PS I really don't wanna hear all the crap about a 3 shot group. ;-) [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0467.jpg"]520854[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0468.jpg"]520855[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
