[QUOTE="Tim Behle, post: 52493, member: 523"] I like to shoot this rifle out to 1,000 yards. If I ever get around to buying a new computer, I might be tempted to buy new ballistics software. I use Point Blank now, it limits me to 1,000 yards. Mostly I just target shoot with it, but I may take it bear hunting again next fall. I got drawn for a Javalina hunt next month and I am thinking I'd like to take one of those at 6-700 yards on one of the local irrigation circles. I think the stock is injection molded, I can't tell for sure. It definitely is not as stiff in the forend as I would like it to be. I do want to put a new stock on it, but Santa demands payment first. It may take a few months before I can replenish my gun fund. But in the mean time, I could probably afford to have this stock bedded. If it was thought to be worth the effort. I got a reprieve from the Honey-do list this afternoon, and decided I may as well finish off the last of the Retumbo. I had 5 pieces of brass left sitting in the block from yesterday. So I dumped the charges in, didn't trickle any of them. Seated the some Nosler 175 partitions in at the last seating depth I used yesterday. Set up the Chrono, and proceeded to shoot. The third shot was a flyer, I called it. But the other 4 hit .845 top to bottom, and .286 side to side. Speed today was around 2870, compared to 2828 ave. yesterday. The SD looks to be easily in the single digits also. I may have just found a new favorite bullet! [/QUOTE]
