    Update time, had the rifle threaded and shortened to 20 inches, suppressor fitted, looks great, points well, balances nicely, very happy with all that.

    Needed zeroing again with all the changes so I got out for a bit of 100 yards target, chronicgraph action and validation today.

    Now I have been told that the Norma Bondstrike ammo was slow, now brace yourself, through a 20 inch barrel they are going an average of 2520fps. Yes that's right, 2520 said the chroni, I thought surely they're not that slow

    They are that slow. All good though, factory ammo and all that. What I can say is they are accurate and consistent which is good. Running the numbers through strelok I've still got 1000 foot pounds at 600 yards at 1777fps. They handled the wind very well, it was gisty and swirling to probably 15mph and I hit the clump of dirt I was aiming at at 620 yards twice so really can't complain there.
    DBD and 25/08 IMP like this.
