I had the same rifle what I found with the short barrel N560,RL22 and other slow burning powder that shows good speed in reloading books are lucky to get 2500 fps with a 140g bullet, I changed to RL17 ,RS60 and found good accuracy and 2700 fps, 

If you don't neck turn you will end up with a case that's round on the outside but oval on the inside this will give inconsistent neck tension 

I compared a ior recon to my kahles k624i when I was looking for another scope after looking through both i went for another kahles, 

Hi Mark 24 inch barrel

N140 works well with 77g tmk  N135 Will work with 50g v max but N133 would be better if you had it

Ooooooooh I like that 👍 I’m using RS 52 . 
to be honest I’m not pushing it I get no worrying pressure signs at all , but it just shoots so well . 
 

Good choice of scope on your setup 👍

Hi 

I also find the  .223 excellent for vermin control, I find the 77g TMK  a good bullet and have taken rabbits out to 400y, recently changed to the oryx chassis can't fault it. One on top of two what powder do you use, I am getting 2920fps with cfe223 

PM sent 

👍

Thanks, on the box of bullets it gives .326 G7  I thought it to high 

Hi what BC are you all using for hornady 140 g eldm in your Kestrel,

Thanks

I had the Tier One tactical bipod, and returned it as when attached to rifle the barrel would touch the legs of bipod when canting this will depend on the thickness of the forend on your stock as it sits between legs, I changed to a atlas CAL and find it a great bipod to shoot from.

Here,s an old method I used to use to control repetative shoulder bumping.Get some shim steel cut out  make shift washers of various thickness ie 4,6,8 and 10 thou suitably  drilled to clear your case size.Place washer as shown in the picture and  work the press.You will soon arrive at the desired amount of bump and just make note of what size shim was correct for future bumping,,,,easy. You do not have to position die anyway near over centre just far enough to work press easily.

This works the same way as Redding comp shell holder's 👍

👍

Sonic clean ,Anneal then resize,

Looking good, what powder are you using. 

Hi I have same set up as you I tried the 69g tmk but did not shoot as good as  77g tmk, I am using cfe223 powder bullet oal 2.410 and getting 2900fps

The KRG arrived on schedule. I just finished getting it set up. I got prone in the living room just to see how it felt. Excellent. Going to shoot it tomorrow.~Andrew

Hi Andrew 

Let us know how you get on 

Thanks for the info 

How do yous find the adjustable cheek piece, with a two guides that hold it close together is it wobble free,the under side of the buttstock looks to be sloped rather than parallel to the barrel how do yous find it tracking on a rear bag.

Hi if anyone has information on this please post

Hi thinking of putting a new stock on my Rem 700  Anyone who has one could you let me know what you think of the krg bravo.

Thanks

Yes I know I was just wondering why so many for the 140g eld-m,as most other bullets in the AB library show only one BC in G7 and G1

Hi paddy 

G1 BC on box is 0.646 but with boat tail type bullets G7 is a better option
