Well it made it up to 35 degrees today and was sunny and clear with wind gusts up to 9 MPH I started off with Pop's load of 66 grains of RL22 and sighted the new #1 in at 100 yards with some 160 grain SGK's that I had picked up for free from a friend of mine and finished off the day with the 160 AB Nosler 2nds and heres what I came up with shooting from a sandbag on my back Deck. The COAL is 3.290(as per the Nosler #4 manual) I think I can make this better by working on the COAL a little, The 3 shot group to the right is the first 3 AB's the next 2 to the left were scope adjustments. Which by the the way, the scope is great Pop! what do y'all think?

It may have been better if I had a shooting bench in my back yard also.

Not bad! Once you adjust for bullet diameter, that is a very fine group. Nothing wrong with that. I'd say that rifle is a keeper. It is a handsome looking weapon.
 
I can live with that. Congrats Jeff you got an all around Rifle for North America. Fast 120 BT's or TSX's at 3400-3500 fps, 140 AB's at 3350, 160's at 3100 fps and 175's at 3000 fps.

What else do you need if you add the class and looks to boot? 8)
 
Gee thanks guys :oops:
I just loaded some new rounds with a OAL of 3.332 That is .015 off the lands. If tomorrow is as nice as today, I'll see what happens.
I am VERY pleased!
