I just got back from the range and must say I'm very impressed with this rifle. Out of the box, new unfire formed brass and got some great groups. These are but two of them. Looks like a keeper for sure. These groups were the first two waiting perhaps ten minutes between the strings. Info on target...hope it's readable. I had just bore sighted it prior to the groups.

My loads with RL-19 were similar with 45 gr having the potential of being the best. One flier out of the four broke up an otherwise .296" group but I can live with it. I'll try again next time. No pressure problems with none of the loads even though it was 86 degrees here.
