[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1729761, member: 87243"] Got a final load by the way. Ended on 66.5 grains H1000, there is a nice flat spot there and the Peterson brass will last forever. Velocity chronoed at 2715 ish, but when we shot it out to 1465 yards the other day, it took 2750 in the applied ballistics app to make good hits. Wind was pushing us around pretty good, it was gusting from 12-18 mph....but vertical at that range was extremely good, with 5 shots on target having only 5" of vertical spread, well under half MOA. My buddy is beyond excited over this rifle, and absolutely amazed at how well the brake reduces recoil. He was easily spotting hits at 300 yards, the closest we shot it on steel, and after sending 20 rounds downrange from prone, said he felt like he was shooting a 22-250 the recoil was so light. He has a deer tag and and elk tag, and we're planning on smoking both with the rifle. This one is certainly a winner, and has been a super fun build. If N570 ever becomes readily available, we may conduct some load work up with it, but for now it seems like load development is done, now we need to start tacking on some kills!! Thanks for following this thread everyone, this has been a very fun and special build for us. Take care!!! [/QUOTE]
