[QUOTE="BLC3128, post: 1337599, member: 101837"] Update: I spent some time at the range shooting groups during the week and settled on this.. SPECS Bullet - Berger Hunting VLD (210 grain) Brass - Norma Primer - Federal 215 Powder - Retumbo (84 gr.) OAL - 3.593" (w/ WBY freebore, I still have .328" jump) PERFORMANCE @ 100 yards Best 3 shot group - .445" Velocity (from the best 3 shot group) - 3025fps, 2975fps, 3007fps (AVG. 3002 fps) I was extremely satisfied with the results and headed to a friends property yesterday to shoot a little farther. Steel plates (12"x12") are set at 445 yards, 585 yards, 690 yards, 735 yards, and 805 yards.
