The rifle has a 20" 1/6.5" twist barrel and the COL would be 2.260"
It shoots 80 gr. Berger VLDs really well, but it looks like the 88 gr. ELDM will do better at 1000 yards from a ballistics perspective.

Thank you in advance.

Is Alliant 2000MR powder in the database?
Time to see if I can get the rifle to perform as well as the RL-17 simulation.

Much appreciated!!!
