I've been really enjoying this rifle. It hasn't been finicky with the 65 grain vmax at all. I've shot 5/16" groups with 39.5 grains of IMR 3031 and 3/8" with 41.8-42 grains of Varget consistently at 100 yards. Yesterday morning was cold, so I decided to fine tune the varget load and did a 1/4" using 41.9 grains. This is all with a cheap scope and rings too. I was definitely psyched! I had watched the you tube videos by "the hyde" and he had the same rifle. He got the best results with the same bullet using a cartridge length .005 off the lands. I expected the same results but my groups got worse. What I found was my rifle really likes a jump. I'm getting optimal results at hornady's recommended 2.600-2.595. Goes to show you they are all different. I want to experiment more with the 3031 and maybe a couple other powders but I like the varget as this will be a coyote rifle and temps can be up and down. Now on to 1/8"...i hope!!
