I will work up some loads for it eventually, but right now I can't even get to my reloader! When I get my new shop built, and get it moved out there it will be a lot easier. I'm planning on trying some 168 grain Barnes bullets. But to start out I'll probably use Hornady's, either 165's or 180's. They're cheap and I've got plenty of both.I thought I might as well have a gunsmith work the trigger over, glass bed it, and maybe free float the barrel before I burn up a whole ton of powder and bullets trying to get an accurate load. I'm not so much worried about the money as I am the time! Right now time is my limiting factor...

I am a firm believer in a soft, smooth, crisp trigger. I have all of my rifle triggers smith'd if they don't already come with a fully adjustable trigger with no creep. Aside from the rifle's capabilities, that is one of the biggest contributing factors of accuracy for me. Once you shoot a customized trigger, there's no going back to the stock standard ones. Free floating the barrel is an absolute must. I'm not sure that tight groups are even achievable with the stock touching the barrel.
