Ballistol Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Dave, It's like you've created a new genre, the Tactical Fatboy. Absolute stunner! It just looks so right. I'm looking forward to the range report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggersqueezer Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 well the fat boy is getting there,trust me to pick up a rifle just in time for the worst weather leicester has ever seen , hailstones and tornados.got out this morning and for half an hour last night.bear in mind i'm not an experienced reloader ,it took 150 shots to get my first pet load which to be honest was one of the very first tests i did.i tried varget and n140 both produced good groups in different powder weights but vit showed sub .50" from 21 grains through to 24+ grains. i have settled on 75 amax, 24 grn of vit ,cci 450 primers as recommended by dave,nosler brass seated 10 tho of the lands.the last 2 groups were .35 and .42 and that was me holding the rifle back as the only place i can shoot is a grass field that is quite high.i have to have the harris maxed at 13" and my gun bag on top of a jumper for a rear rest.the .42 this morning was the best i could muster in the wind , and i'm sure on a better rest and a still day it will yield .25 or less.even though its early days its on a five pence at 100 yds five shots and thats good enough to get some ballistic info and do some hunting.another big thanks to dave at valkyrie and when i get some decent weather and some more land opens up i'll post pics of what this rifle is really capable of. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazb Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 well the fat boy is getting there,trust me to pick up a rifle just in time for the worst weather leicester has ever seen. mike Tell me about it. last thursday we lost 8 windows, 2 velux windows in the loft, half the roof and all the ceilings and floors.
