That level of performance is well beyond "good shooting." Tell us more about the rifle. How much does it weigh? What contour, twist, material, length, etc, is the barrel? Was the load just a generic or did somebody do load development before you took possession of the rifle? Most importantly, who built the rifle?

Someone else did the load development on the gun. The reloads are hornady brass, 143 eldx, fed gmm primers, 42grains h4350, bto is 2.241, chrono at approx 2780 fps,7.5 twist, gun weights 14.8 lbs, Derek love out of Kansas built the rifle.
