Very nice.
Custom reloading tools (google them) has new 35 gr bullets that are quite sleek and have a smaller hollow point. Might give them a try.

Got out to the range today, weather was crap. Wind blowing from 15-30mph and raining off and on. Figured I'd get on paper and do a little break in if nothing else. Took three rounds to get sighted in at 50, then moved out to 100, this was the first 5 shots at 100:

You can see where I pulled two shots, the other three went through one hole. Then my buddy took over and shot the next three:

Conditions being what they were, absolutely no load work up and shooting off a make-shift rest I'm very happy with the results so far.

H4198 seems to work a little better than H4895 and is noticeably cleaner.

Nice looking rifle.
My Tactical 20 also likes H4198 the best.

By my best effort this conservatively measures in at .076, having a hard time finding a load this rifle won't shoot.

You've got a winner there. I hope my 204 shoots as good when my barrel get here from Jim.

Don't you hate it when a gun shoots that good from the start? :o
What are you going to use for a reason to go to the range now?

Longer range- what else? ;)
Going to try it at 200 today and see how it does.
