haven't really had a chance to play with it much. the last 3 months between moving twice (yeah bad deal!) and the heat I haven't been out. I vaporized a ground squirrel at 40 yards with the short 40gr jhp bullet was pretty impressed! even my straight .223 doesn't do as much damage.

I did all my load testing at 100 yards and also did some water jug testing at 100. with 3.5gr titegroup I was getting 2300 ft/sec and it penetrated 3 jugs and kept going to my suprise with the 40jhp.

with the same bullet at 3150 ft/sec It shredded the front jug (lost some fragments) penetrated the second jug and stopped in the 3rd jug. .46" expansion and 29gr final weight.

the 40 v-max at 3264 turned the first jug inside out and didn't even exit! made for quite the water show.

have not tried rl-7 yet. I think it may be a touch too slow. I have some 2400, H110, and 1680 to try once life normalizes.
