Well, after taking many months putting this rig together, I finally shot my TRG. It has a Near Mfg. Alpha scope mount, a factory Sako brake and a Zeiss Victory Diavari FL 4-16x50. I had to send a few things down the road (guns that were not used much, if at all) to pay for this thing, and didn't know what I would end up. I can honestly say that I will never miss what I sold.
I sighted in the glass with factory 180 grain Win ballistic silver tips. Even though those rounds had to jump a mile to get to the barrel, they grouped about 1/2" at 100 yards.
Now for my reloads. I tried H4831sc behind 180 grain NAB's and a Fed GM215M primer. Loads were 73, 74, 75, 75.5 and 76 grains. Bullets were ~ .015 off the lands. Brass is virgin RWS.
I could not really tell if one charge was better than another at 100 yards. Holes were touching for each load! I THINK 74 grains gave the cleanest single hole, but like I said it was hard to tell at this point.
Shooting this rifle at 100 yards just isn't going to tell me a whole lot. This is the first rifle that I have ever owned that gave me this kind of performance.
For an out of the box gun, this thing kicks ass!
