[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 457971, member: 6555"] Well I went out yesterday with some RL17 loads and I got better velocity but nothing where I though I might be, I was from 2784fps up to 2811fps but when I hit the 60.5gr load my velocity dropped back to 2792fps and the bolt was a touch sticky to open. The 60.0gr load the spread was 4fps! yeah I about fell overbut dang -it guys this thing should be able to hit the 2900fps mark with no problem! the loads I was using were from a 24" barrel and stating 3009fps in the loading book. Oh well the search continues. I did get it out to a range with some more acres yesterday :D popped the 12" plate @ 400 yards, the 8" plate not a problem either :D the 4" plate well it gave me some grief I only got 1 of 5 to connect. This is the second time out with the pistol so when I get some more trigger tiem I'm sure it'll get better I just wish the velocity would get up there a little more, I like the 5.5MOA like my 284 over the 7MOA of my 7WSM :-( just ain't right.
