.274 Neck throated for 75 gr V-Max
Blue / Black Shurley Brothers Lowrider Stock
Comment: I think I have found my favorite caliber as now I basically have twins – one for 87 grainers and one for 75 grainers. Yes this is overkill (and financially not the best decision) but it’s fun, so what the heck. With such a slow twist rate, I think I can push the 75s to 3850 fps or so.

Jewell 1.5 oz benchrest trigger

Comment: I’ve got a load of 55gr Nosler Varmageddons going 4k using Norma brass made from necked-down and fire-formed 7mm Mauser. I can push them to 4200 fps but jackets fail from the fast twist. I’ve got some Berger 108s to play with for the longer shots. I haven’t been able to work on a load yet– waiting on the weather. It will have its first outing in a couple months on the prairie dog trip.

Comment: Not technically new for 2015 – Buts its a new paint Job. This rifle shoots Berger 105s well with Varget and CCI 450s very well — check out the target!
