I finally got my rifle assembled enough to take it to the range to try it out. As you can tell the stock is not finished as of yet but it is bedded. I have a Shilen Comp trigger coming on it as the one on it now is a Shilen Standard trigger.
Rifle: Pierce Single Shot action, Shilen Select Match barrel (8 twist), Wildcat Composites stock, SII 36X Scope.
Here are the targets shot to date:
This is rounds 3, 4 and 5 through the barrel. After the first two, it was sighted in close enough to try a group
The left group is shots 6,7 and 8 with the rifle held against my shoulder.
The right group is shots 9,10 and 11 with no shoulder contact and as little hand contact as I could manage
This is my first 5 shot group.
All loads were the same. It was the first powder charge amount, the first bullet choice and first guessed seating depth I tried (do not have a modified case made yet)
Pretty pleased. The first 3 groups are 3 shots and they are all at 100 yards but I think that will be a great gun for me to learn on!

not really much holding involved.
