[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1211158, member: 50867"] Yep, 100 yards. That's where I start for load workup. But I do use the 25 yard line for initial bore sighting (saves a lot of ammo to get me on paper at 100 when setting up a new scope) Is it repeatable? Well, yes. Although this one is only a three shot group I think it supports the repeatability for the load. Velocity runs about 2875 fps. This rifle is VERY forgiving. It eats just about anything I feed it - as long as it's H4831SC. It will group like this with anything from 51.1 to 52.3 grains of 4831SC. I found a pretty good load for it using RL17 but it was temp. sensitive and when I worked up a good load for 75 degree temps. the prints on target weren't consistent over a range of 25 degrees on either side of that 75 degree outside temp. So I moved to 4831SC and all is well. [/QUOTE]
