A few 0.3x" groups, and the smallest was a 0.2" group, but that one was kind of on the lower end of the velocity range I'm looking at. Probably going to pick one of the higher velocity loads and play around with seating depth. "Pretty cocky for a starving pilgrim!" "An elk don't know how many legs a horse has!"

For my first time target shooting past 330 yards, I'm pretty happy with how it went! The mirage was an absolute killer! Couldn't even see the 3" and 4" targets. The ones in this picture are 10", 8", and 6" in diameter. "Pretty cocky for a starving pilgrim!" "An elk don't know how many legs a horse has!"

We'll see how much tweaking with the load I do over the summer. I'm sure there will be a little bit done, as all my brass is now 1x fired. The stock is an MDT XRS chassis.
