This is my new Bat B flat bottom actioned LG

Laminate Deep Creek LRB lo pro stock. Bix & Andy trigger, 4 groove Lilja HV 6 BRA
Picked up another NF NXS 12-42, .125" click NP 2DD reticle, same scope as on the Panda.

I broke the barrel in FF 20 pieces of Lapua 6 BR into BRA today and all I can say is WOW in regards to the stock. Tracks amazing, resists rolling in the bag when opening and closing the bolt and just runs amazing.
2" longer than a Wheeler/McMillan makes it balance/handle better in the bags front to back as well.

Yes in the wood

Now I'm not sure Shawn was doing the lo pro for me.  Will have to check.

Better pics of the stock








The first time I saw a F Class stock with the long sled that lowered the gun I knew those guys were onto something @Bullet Jockey

It weighs 16.8# picking it up you have to be careful you don't throw it over your shoulder after handling the fat panda LOL

Thanks for the pics.

Sweet looking rig there Dave!

First two powder ladders on this one. Obviously not on the seating node. Virgin Alpha brass got stickier the higher I pushed it.
Will definitely have to run it in the low node first firing.

Seated +008

Seating ladders on the Bat today shot the 30.3 from the powder test because of its lack of vertical and it's affinity to 30.4

I would have 30.8 but the Virgin Alpha struggles to get through a ladder without getting sticky.

It struggled today also but it was cold and humid.

+6 maybe? I wonder what +14 would have done, to help out the +13

On the low ladder 6 is going to fade into 5 with any erosion. 4 looks great so I might see what 3 looks like.
12 and 13 would probably clean up and it might have been me, the mirage was no joke on the high ladder.

I don't shoot the 103g Bart's but do shoot the 105g's.  I have found that +3 to +5 works the best for me in the 6mm Dasher.

If everything seems under control......you're just not going fast enough

I was looking at the poi of 5 and 6, but you are correct, 5 does have lots of vertical and won't give you that many rounds before to get to there. What is your target dot size, 2"

I'm not sure I can trust a guy who skips the NBRSA LR Nationals to work on a car Bob :o

Just kidding of course, thanks!
