Thank you for the work. Don't forget the trigger puller. He had something to do with it!
My collimator is working. I always set the scope one grid line high at 100 which equates to approximately 4 MOA.

Do you think a slower powder with better case fill might tighten that up a bit?
32 gr. of Varget is less than I shoot in my Dasher, which is a smaller case.

Something along the lines of H4831SC, RL22 or one of the 4350’s (IMR or Hodgdon)?

I don’t have a .243 so, just asking?

Probably would, I just went with something middle of the road. I don't match cases or bullets, a better shot would have "tightened up" this group regardless of case fill. I have picked up some slower powders for the new barrel, both 4350's, hybrid 100v etc...

Nice! First five? Nothing to sneeze at. Nice work to the two of you.

H4350 and the 243 are the equivalent of ducks and water.
Try the Berger BT bullet not the VLD and you will be very happy.
What twist does the barrel have?

8 twist.

All my 243's love Bergers and Sierras pushed with either H4350 or Varget.

OP, congrats!!

Ken builds outstanding rifles period. Every one f/tr rifle he has built for me have shot 1/4 moa at least . Even built me a 1903 a4 with repo forbes scope that shoots 1/2 moa with a 100 year old barrel!
