    Thanks.

    Correct, everything so far has been with factory loads; the groups from above were acheived using Black Hills 77gr SMK red box.

    Here is a recent group from a light range visit earlier this week using Hornadt 53gr Superformance, i still have to go through a few more boxes to confirm a few things.



    Although i fear i currently lack the skill to constantly tighten these groups anymore. Atleast its something i can work on.

    Thanks for the kind words btw.

    Nice build man! Just finished my first one as well...such a great feeling. How do you like that rail? I'm thinking about it for my girl's gun when we build hers.

    Thanks.

    I like the rail a lot, light and strong.

    It also feel great when handling it as it does not have rails all around with the option to add the rails where you want.

    Given that I only intended to add the bipod it was perfect for me.

    Thanks again.

    Don't sell your shooting ability short until you hit 24X magnification on target. It will reveal your errors and give you a chance to correct them. I always tailor my loads at high magnification so I know if it is me or the ammo. Then I throw on whatever optic is appropriate for use. Good Luck!
