Desert fox, nice shooting and a great group. What barrel length allows for those nice velocities? BTW, 45 grains even in my Rem VSSF 26" shoot like that, but slower I think.

The barrel lenght is 24"- 12 twist Pacnor 3 grove super match. The reamer is Obermeyer designed strickly for 175 grain bullet but works will with Scenar. Somehow I could push the bullet faster with less amount of powder [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
