Acually went to the range this past weekend and put this rifle on the bench just to see what it would do. The only bench this rifle has seen was the initial load work up with the chronograph to check velocity and ES with only a few groups shot up close(100-200yds). I had a good friend along who had just ordered a Crusader in .308 from George and the crew who wanted to check out this Crusader.
The load we shot in it yesterday is:
139gr scenar
42.0grs H4350
Nosler brass
Wolf LRM primer
2.775" coal(right at the lands)
MV:2850fps
I had switched to the Wolf primers a few weeks ago and can say that they tightened up this load a bit over the Federal 210 Match. The SD and ES dropped as well. I'm sold on Wolf primers!! Target pics.....
George, Thanks again!! This rifle is an absolute drill!!
