[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 10533, member: 1441"] Els I have the same rifle you are takling about and will tell you it's worth everything they say about it and more. The test target that came with the rifle, which I can only assume was fired out of some kind of machine rest was.178MOA I got it to the range on Saturday for the first time and the best group I came up with was .323MOA This was the first batch of handloads and I have not experimented with powders, primers COL or anything else. That load was a little hot, the primers were flattening but it shouldn't be so since it was just at max as per the Vihta Vuori manual. 43.2gn N140 CCI BR2 Lapua brass, Lapua 167gn Silver Scenar(moly) COL 60.95mm @ the ogive. 2686fps I would like to see if I don't get flat primers with another powder, may try N135 of N550 maybe try backing out off the lands a little more too. I'll be bringing the rifle over to the UK this year at some stage, if you're around and still keen you can have a look and a shot if you like. [/QUOTE]
