I figured I'd shoot some groups at 100 to figure out what the rifle liked before taking it to the long range.
I shot at 131gr of retumbo.. then 132 and 133... the 134 and every group I shot including the cold bore one all went through the same hole. I have a lot of work to do but, I was expecting to see the rifle open up at some point but, 1/2" group was the worst thing I've seen so far... shooting 5 shot groups.... not ONE flyer..... not one.
So, I have to do this again at 1000yds... I expected to see severe things at 100yds and apparently, I'm an idiot.... I stopped but I had hotter loads... seems like they're all going to be sub half minute. ( new barrels rock )
I have to say that RWS does build a nice rifle. Mine is a Tac 408 Stiller action, brux 30" 1:10 twist bbl, jewel trigger, PDC chassis, RWS brake with 34 moa base and a NF NSX 5.5-22x on it for now.
I'm very pleased with this rifle right now.
