Hi all,
I am a first time poster but have followed this board for quite a while and read up on all the posts in regards to the NULA. I have placed a $500 deposit with Melvin and have a number of questions that I hope you all can help me with. Thank you in advance and I am excited to enter the smokeless ml world.
-First I have decided on a matte finish and really like the green black web stocked NULA based on the pictures of Big 6X6's gun that I saw posted on the board. Chuck do you remember what color you specified to Melvin when ordering? Sorry to copy you but I like the looks of that gun. Thanks!
-Second it looks like the go to powder is sr-4759 in a range of 42-44 gains with a 250 or 275gr Parker BE. I will start my load development with this powder first. I have limited access to VV N110 because I am in Rochester, NY Do you have any other recommended powders that I should purchase? Also please recommend Bullets as well. I assume that the 250 and 300 bonded SW will do. But are there others? Would you be so kind to recommend matching sabots with bullets? I have seen HPH12 and the harvester but I am not sure of the type of harvester or the order number. Thanks again!
Lastly, and I apologized for being so long winded. I plan to purchase a RCBS rock rest and a sand bag for the back. Do you have any shooting tips or hand positioning for this rifle based on the fact that it is so light. I am used to shooting heavy rifles.
Any other recommendations are welcome. As for glass I plan to match the gun with a Vari XIII 3.5X10 40mm. Thanks for your help guys!
Take care,
Dan
