Title: Early birthday present
Post by: huntandjeep on July 31, 2015, 03:07:42 PM: Just picked myself up an early birthday present. Cooper Excaliber model 52 in 6.5x.284 :IBCOOL:. Topped with a 6.5x20x50 Leupold mark 4. Previous owner added a Vais brake. Also got 100 rounds of brass, powder and some 140gr Bergers with it. Wish it was cooler so I could go shoot it. I've actually already shot it out to 1200yrds when the previous owner had it.

I am waiting for some cooler weather also to test some loads on a few rifles. Wish the weather would change soon.

Handloads just under .5moa. Previous owner said out of the box with good factory ammo was right at .5moa.
