[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1813872, member: 87243"] 100 yard 5 shot group from initial max charge work up with H1000, this was 87.5 grains going 2630 or so. I think she's gonna be a good shooter. Recoil is amazingly low, it feels the same or maybe less than my buddies 11.5 lb 338 NM with a T3 brake, and same stock, just the eh-1a model with the adjustable cheek rest. I would say both feel about like an AR-10 .308 or so. Definitely less than my old Ruger 30-06 with 165's, and less than my dad's 12 lb unbraked .264 win mag sending 156's at 3070 fps. I can't believe how good these brakes work. After I go through a lb of H1000, and have some brass formed well and the barrel broke in, I'll move on to VV-N570 to try to get some more velocity, should be able to hit 2750 or so and stay under the CIP 63000 psi, hopefully there is a good node somewhere north of 2700 and within pressure range. I have a feeling this will get expensive, this gun is fun to shoot!!![ATTACH=full]170778[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
