Heyo, got the rifle last summer, but life got in the way. Shooting a laser cut 450gr with 136gr of N570 for a baseline cold bore velocity of 2900 fps. Last Friday we finally zero’d the scope, did a dope check at 500 yards, and ran it out to a mile. Due to variable wind it took me 4 shots to hit, range owner tried it out and did it in 3. I pressed 20 more rounds and will check to see if we need to let the bore cool for more consistent fps, as the initial cold bore shot is faster. I also plan to check group size at the same time.
Now the homework starts to see what this rifle does and figure out how to stretch it to 2 miles.
