Just some quick results;

Team Prime came through and we had some 144 (Peterson Brass/Sierra bullet) for my wife's rifle...a short range session, but here is the down and dirty.

- Hawk Hill 26" chambered by Area 419
- A couple quick 3 round groups to confirm zero (these are shots 1-6)
-- Amazingly close to POA/POI of the Prime 130... 0.1 windage adjustment
-- Legit sub 1/2 MOA for these quick zero confirmation shots
-- Vel was running a bit slower than the the 2720 on the box; avg 2690 with SD of 12 (only 9 rounds. about 40degrees, DA -500)
- Shot well out to 1000....have not reviewed data but initially kestrel was way off, may have fat fingered something.
- Drop was a tad more than expected, but once dialed in, held the waterline on the steel very well. Vertical seemed quite consistent at distance; stacked them up nice at 800. Notes show drops: 600 : 4.3, 800 : 7.0, 900 : 8.4, 1K: 10.4. However, the 1K often has some weird light and the steel was pretty shot up so spotting impacts was tough...so take that DOPE with a grain of salt. It was near center-line, but we need to re-validate that when it is not snowing!

Edit: G7 BC 0.265 @ 2690 is lining up pretty close with the limited data we have so far.

FY was very happy with the results...Prime continues to shoot very well for her!

Thanks for this--haven't been able to get out and shoot a box yet.

Hoping I get at least 2640 mv in a 24" to meet the NRLH 380000 power factor minimum.
