    Against my better judgement, I loaded up Hornady brass, with 80 eld… usually use better brass and sierra or berger but tried this being cheap.

    Rifle is in a magpul hunter with a 2 stage timney. I shot 3 groups before this one, all under 1”. Then get to 28.4gr of varget, first 2 shots are same hole. I even questioned if 2nd shot was on paper. 3rd shot, and I knew I pulled it low, moved ever so slightly and saw the center dot dip down as I broke the trigger…. Sucks.

    Shots 4 and 5 back in the same hole as 1 and 2.

    2900 fps.

    This thing rocks. I wanted bravo stock but Amazon had the magpul on sale for $160…. Can’t say no to that.

    That's pretty awesome.

    I had a 1.0 in 5.56 and it shot terrible, but I might reconsider another if the 2.0 shoots that well. Can you get them without the spiral fluting?
