I have this rifle put together for more than a month and it's showing to be very promising in testing. It will be used for coyote and medium range deer.

I have been working with Varget and my old standard 100 gr. NBT's. I've been working with a wieght range of 38.5 to 40.5. My best group came with 38.5 gr. @ an average velocity of 3059 FPS.

I had a couple of other sub .5" groups as I climbed the ladder, but nothing to match the first load. At 40.5 gr. I was still not showing significant pressure signs, so I think that I will find the high node somewhere in the next grain or grain and a half.

As always these loads are safe in my rifle. Reduce load and work up to the safe limits in yours. Discontinue use if you experience headache, dizzines or rectal itching.
