Not chronographed yet. but primers have been of 3 types, factory, CCI BR2 (if I loaded) and also had some rounds with Federal primers. TBH I think I have tried too many different loads, even factory produced ammo for ignition to make sense, bolt and firing pin seem fine..

I tried it again yesterday, with a new longer heavier front bag rider and the mods to the bedding, no different really. I may try a different stock and bedding build, I'll go back to my 6mm for a few weeks while that is in progress.
