Nice group! Willing to share any load data? Picked my 110 Ultralite up last week and just waiting for glass. Bought it specifically to run the 156 Berger for elk, caribou and muley’s. 130 Federal for speed goats and whitetail but really want to get the 156 tuned so any insight would be greatly appreciated!

56.5 grains of h1000 and it fits in the magazine for a length I bought the cartridge to measure the ogive and it is a huge jump but the gun shoots

Thanks for the data! So you just loaded to the same COAL as factory to fit the mag?

All the other load data I could find were shooting out of more custom rigs so it’s really good to know what these 110’s like to eat. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.

Anyone check their trigger pull weight yet? I just checked mine since it felt light. From the factory it came in at 1lb 6oz. All my other hunting rifles are set at 2lbs or just barely over 2lbs.

Any new updates with the ultralite? Anyone running the 180 VLD in the 28 nosler? Or anything else in the 28 nosler?

My 28 seems to shoot the 175gr ablr very well. I have some 162 eldx to try as well but will pry stick with the heavier bullet

I’ll keep my eyes open for some 175s. Thanks.

Just got my 6.5 Prc with Talley medium rings and leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40. Love the look so far. Haven’t shot it yet but not sure on the torque of the Talley base to rifle. Had a store do it for me since I was being lazy. Can’t find anything to double check his work.

That's a good looking rifle. I might have to own an Ultralight someday. The Talley torque specs can be found on the back of the packaging or on their website. Base to Rifle is generally in the 30-35 in/lbs. range IIRC but don't quote me on that.

Out of curiosity, what does that rig weigh, as shown?

Thanks a lot. It was like 4oz higher than the specs said it would be. It was 6 lb 4 oz bare bones. With scope and rings it was 7lb like 6 oz. can’t remember but somewhere in that ballpark. Really light though. Shooting it this weekend. Can’t believe I haven’t shot it yet but crap weather in the PNW slowed me down.
