Showed up at the range with GenePool Sunday for a little load development time with my new F Class rifle. The 600 yard range is a 2 hour drive, while the 100 yard range is 20 minutes. We elected to just go get some trigger time at the 100 yard range. Upon arrival the range was trashed for all the newbie shooters and full of mud from the 5 days of rain. After my normal morning bitching about everything, I elected to get a little time behind the rifle. It’s only had 10 rounds through it for break in shots. I worked up 4 - 5 round loads from 45.1 to 46. I figured I’d at least get a generalization of what it would like. The load was 155 Scenars and Varget. Well as the target shows I’ll need to go straight to 300 for load development for this one….not a bad problem to have. Wind was 15 gusting 22 from about 10 O’oclock. Barrel is a 29 inch Bartlein
