This rifle continues to make me happy. I've tried three different handloads using 2400 and Lil Gun powder and both 35 and 40 gr V-max bullets. Last night I got 5 shot groups under 1" at 100 yards with either weight bullet and Lil Gun powder. I had to seat the 40 gr V-max bullets pretty deep in order to fit in the magazine, but they fed without any problems. It won't be long before I see what these loads will do on the local ground hog population.
