[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 2155839, member: 84194"] Update on this rifle. I found a great load using RL-23 behind Berger VLDs that makes bug holes at 100 yards. I zeroed the rifle at 200 and put the ballistic data in my Kestrel. Today I tested it at longer ranges and am 100% happy. First shot was at a rock face on a lava outcrop 530 yards away. The farmer declared it 'dead center' with the solution from my Kestrel. Then an unfortunate chuck poked his head out from behind a rock 277 yards away and the 25 scraped him off. At the end of the day the wind died to near zero so we set up for a long range test at 970 yards. Again with a solution from my Kestrel the spotter told me that the L-R windage was perfect and it hit 2 feet high. I will take it to a spot I know where I can shoot at small rocks on a dirt hillside 1000 yards away and true up the Kestrel MV. At that point I will be dialed in an use this hammer on chucks beyond 450 yards. [/QUOTE]
