It didnt like the smks and they didnt group less than an inch. It really liked the 75gr ELDM's and I had a few 1/2 moa 5 shot groups. Velocity was a bit low but Its a lighter load for break in (38.0gr H4350 and got just under 3200 fps) . So far I see great potential in it. I was also able to shoot 2MOA targets at 500m consistenly so thats good news considering the barrel needs more break in. From what I have seen on line I should expect between 3350 and 3400 fps with the 75gr.
Thanks Mark, seems you may have found a winner, early results look good, now my interest is really peaked keep us posted how things go on the next range session
