tontoshot 600 OK still alive
Well just shot some baby loads out of the 600 Ok. Was shooting 1040gr casts at 1600fps. I have my brake on but no recoil reducers in the stock yet. So with that and the magbox bottom metal and misc i think she is about a pound light. The recoil was no big deal yet

I want my cast loads at about 1700 fps so Ill bump the rl15 a bit more.
Got to work the front sight some more out of the cradle she was touching the 2 shots at about 45 yards.
Now ill bed her in the rest and finish my mag box then I would like to work on some 900gr woodleighs at about 2200fps.
I am quite happy so far with my first scratch built rifle.
Jeffe can I get an application for that bigbore club yet??
