Jake put a 6.5-284 Norma rifle together for me a short while back. Over a little time I worked up a load which allowed an accuracy of quarter inch or better size groups which were easily reproducible at 100 yards off a bench. In a no wind situation it also produced groups which were easily minute of angle out to 800 yards. Some were even better than that. I used Hornady's 147 grain eld match bullet in front of 47.2 grains of H 4350 powder ignited by Fed match primers. I understand this is one man's experience with one rifle but with what I've seen of Jake's work I can recommend his effort to build accurate rifles over most if not all of the custom builders operating in today's market place and I have quite a few of their examples. If you're interested in developing a long range rifle you might at least give Jake a call and listen to his commentary regarding your interests. You won't be sorry. read more
