Zeroed it at 75 yards for duty as a pig patrol gun, as we've been over-ran with hogs this year...3 shots group was about 3/4" at that range, which is good enough for my piggies.
Loading some more test runs with some other assorted powders & bullets since i cant help but fiddle with things that aren't really broke, but isn't that part of the fun?
Reloder-10x did well for me with the first runs, but Alliant powders have gotten crazy in price & hard to source consistently, so going to ty some
Ramshot Exterminator, & i have a very old keg of IMR4895 i'm only halfway through, so hoping those will do well.
