Nice! How did it shoot the Prime?
It shot great, half to 3/4 moa es in high teens, 3090fps. I haven't shot any since break in. So If throat moved it could be out of seating depth node. Smk are a bit finicky in that manner.
 
What kind of velocity did u see with the 122 Cayuga?

I'm passing your ad onto another guy who is looking.

I was running them with RL23 @ 3390-3400fps, accuracy was pretty good half moa @ 400Y, I never had pressure signs till 3500 fps. If you partner is interested in the cayuga, I have a bunch I'd part with along with the rifle. Thanks for the interest.
