hangunnr Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 .......Mark Penrod of Penrod Precision. Had a semi beater XP100 reciever kicking around here so I turned it over to Mark with the instructions of what I wanted for barrel contour, length and chambering. He called back telling me he wasn't pleased with the original bolt so a new one was ordered from PT&G. Told him there was no hurry, just make it right... He didn't disappoint. 243 Ackley Improved in a 18" 7.5 twist Krieger that ended up 1.015 at the muzzle... PT&G shifter I did the rework on the trigger shoe by taking out most of the curve of the factory shoe. Sear engagement surfaces were polished and trued. I finished the McMillan stock with a texture coat and a flat black coat of Alumahyde II. A Ken Farrel 10MOA base will hold the optic. The optic for now is a Burris but that's only until Leupold gets my custom shop order processed.... As she sits the scale says 9#15oz....

hangunnr Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Got out this morning with some loads in formed brass. Ran several loads with 4831SC and RL22 under moly'd 105 Amax and moly'd 90gr Scenar. All loads tried went under 1 MOA but as velocity increased the group size shrunk with the RL22 and the Amax. The fastest load topped out at 2945 average for 5 and a 2 hole .441 group. There were no pressure signs so I may yet see the 3000+ I'm after. I'd venture a guess this pistol is capable of one very small hole if the shooter is capable. 48gr RL22, moly'd 105 Amax .002 into the lands, WLR primer in formed Lapua brass.
