[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1844825, member: 7999"] We used rl23 not rl33. I am not sure how many rounds have been on this rifle. It is not ours, it belongs to a customer. I am pretty sure it is pretty new though. The customer was not sure that this rifle was done well by the smith that he had build it. It did not like the heavier bullets that we tried in it. Should probably check the twist rate as it acts like it might be slower than stated. Until yesterday it would not hold moa for more than a few of shots. It tricked me a week ago into thinking that it was shooting well. Had convinced myself the couple of shots that were not with the majority were me not riding the bags well. Then we took it out to 900y and it was not good. Will see in a couple of days, if weather holds, when we take it to long range again. That 6 shot group that I posted is .701 moa. Not the best I have shot, but I didn't think it was too bad for a 15x scope and a ~7lb fully dressed rifle. Speed is awesome! But not worth sacrificing accuracy for vel. Our goal when loading is to find best accuracy and speed. [/QUOTE]
