    When I say you can’t safely load to max, technically you can, I probably should say shouldn’t, or that’s it’s less advisable as a practice... just so it doesn’t spark contentious debate lol

    That’s not much more than an inch group (albeit only 2 shots) at 400 yards, so getting around.3 MOA, whjich is good by any measure. Seems accurate enough to drop a stag, which is what it’s ultimately about. Good work

    As above, ejector smileys are good indication of over-pressure. Heavy bolt lift is way more than I'm comfortable with.

    What distance was this shot at? What cartridge? Half a grain will be more significant in .22H than 8mm...
    How far off the lands are we?
    Empty case says 6.5 G
