The Nosler 260gr Accubond is a great bullet.

That is some nice shooting and nice looking gun. What do you think it will do at 200 or 300? Hopefully 200 and 300 are chip shots for this gun, it was built to go long. Ballisticly it's capable of reaching way out there with the right bullet/load combo. We will see how it pans out after season when I get it back to the bench.

She's suited up and ready for a sit. Definitely a ground gun!

Very impressive! You'll notice, we Arkansas boys get up early, even on Sunday. (Steve - road closed from Tuckerman - Cord. Will have to drive to Newark to get to J316 today. 2 1/2 hr drive).

Been choppin at the bit to get out and test my new build just like Guy has with his green anti tank gun. Steve...Please be careful...flooding is nothing to fool with, it's easy to misjudge water's depth over the roads.

What do you think of this barrel? Mine is very consistent from end to end, but I got the one they contoured wrong. All I got was, sorry, don't know how that slipped thru... After "talking not so nicely for about 5 min" they were gracious enough to offer a small discount on my next barrel purchase. After this screw up and Dave's TERRIBLY inconsistent barrel, it's likely this is the only Krieger I'll ever own. Just me...

Took the 375 to the bench, well, picnic table at mid day today before I headed out for an evening hunt. I wanted to work from what I learned on the first go round, so I only made minor adjustments. I sized up some 260 Nosler Accubonds, this time I made em 1 notch tighter fit, now they have slight resistance, easy one hand loading. The N160 load that shot pretty well last time, I just bumped it up 1 grain and tried the newly sized Accubond (instead of the Partitions I shot last time). The H-4350 load, I left alone because I thought it may be good and a better bullet fit may be the save all there. So I shot 1 fouler with a 235 speer to dirty the barrel up a little. (I had ran a brush thru it before I left home) First was the N160/260 Accubond/ WW/ Fed 209a. I shot 3 shots at 100 and was satisfied with that, it tightened right up like I hoped. (Group to the right) Then I moved on to the H-4350/ 260 Accubond/ WW/ Fed 209a and held at the same spot and shot 2, both touching, so I was happy with that and called it good. (Group to the left) So I cleaned up and headed to the woods with Poly. Looks like things are headed in the right direction with this gun, can't wait to do more testing in the off season. For now, it's good enough to go on a hunt should I decide to take it, so I'll leave it be.

Did you index this time? That 260 AB at the speeds you are shooting should be pretty flat shooting. Nice group.

Someone asked how this beast might do at 200yds or more. Rain day today so I stole it for a quick group at 200yds and to check a cold fouled bore shot for hunting conditions. If the wind had cooperated for the 3rd shot, may have been better, had a slight L-R wind for 1&2 and it died on #3. Easily sub MOA with no load development to this point. Thing is a tank but what a pleasure to shoot! Barely moves back on the bag with a 260gr bullet in excess of 2900fps with no hold other than a light grip on the pistol grip. I shoot both eyes open and I could see the wad particles blow out the muzzle brake sides. Nice gun Guy and Cole.

Not bad shooting Dave for the conditions and being the first time behind it. Thanks for testing.

He has one, maybe he can snap a picture of Dave with it today. I'm sure it looks comical, that gun is nearly 54" long.
