[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1712228, member: 87243"] Well deer season opens in just a few hours, my cousin is on the mountain now with camp set up, and my father and I are going up in the morning after I get off at 0600. Got everything with this rifle finished up just two days ago, RL26 was not wanting to shoot that well, 1" or so groups no matter what we tried. Switched to H1000, and it sure did the trick!!! H1000 and RL26 maxed out at the same velocity, right around 3000 fps or so, with H1000 being more stable and giving better load density. 3 shots @100yds, H1000, GM215M primer, 170 EOL seated .005" off, and 2940 fps[ATTACH=full]149396[/ATTACH] That group may have been some luck, but when we stretched it out to over 700 yds it was holding well under half MOA, so I think it's doing just fine. And here is the finished, scoped rifle. Has an ARCA mount to go on the tripod, can be used from 3" off the ground all the way up to off hand up hill, and very, very stable. This has been a fun build, and is surely gonna stack critters, hopefully a big deer in the next couple days!! [ATTACH=full]149397[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
