Re: did i do well?

Not too sure on that model but one thing I can tell you is your not going to get very good results with a 75 grain bullet. I'm pretty sure that barrel has a 1 in 12" twist rate so your best bet will be shooting 55-60 grain bullets. Your other option is get a barrel change and try a 1 in 8" or 9" twist rate.

Travis, that's a good price on the rifle. And, you could always sell the take-off barrel and get another barrel installed if you really want to shoot the heavier bullets. For now, stick with 40-55 grain stuff, and enjoy it.
