[QUOTE="brentc, post: 646775, member: 16938"] Thanks for the compliments. I consider the the group size as an indicator that this rifle has potential, but the actual load is not fully developed. I plan to take it out to 300 yards and further to see how it does. Also, since it's getting hot here. I'll be interested to see how it reacts. I'll probably need to drop a couple grains on the final load as it's darn near max at 75* ambient. I'll be happy if I can get maximum consistency at around 2800 fps. I never shot it before skim bedding. I had another bedding project going on in the same weekend and I decided to knock them both out. The big 230's will fit and function in the factory magazine when loaded to the lands. I don't think the 230 hybrid match version will, but the OTM tacticals fit fine. Here's a video clip of me shooting a couple shots through the suppressor.
