    Shot the seating depth ladder today after somewhat of a sabatical from all things shooting related sorry @SmokeyJason looks like the 165gn spbt's will do the job.....hopefully, will need to load up a few more confirmation rounds but the best group of the day was just shy of 1" at 100y (.9405") likely traveling at 2600fps or near enough. No chrono today as I didn't want to risk skewing group sizes.
    For a lightish knock about short range rifle with a 2.5-8 scope that's plenty good enough.
    The thicker limbsaver was a game changer so will definitely buy a new one and shape it perfectly for this stock, absolutely transformed the rifle with extra LOP and decent recoil absorbing it no longer is a handful.
    Fingers crossed when I get around to loading the confirmation rounds it stays consistent...... could be a while as I have no intention of sitting at the loading bench any time soon.
