    Soo I finally got out to the range/farm paddock with a bench
    I had some handloads i had cooked up with some 50gn sp sx hornady and cfe223
    Accuracy improved a long way the rifle can now be called a consistent shooter Of arround the 1-1.1 inch 5 shot groups at 100m
    It’s consistent that’s the main thing just gotta find a bullet it likes now

    And im sure it will be a half inch gun like the rest
    gadgetman, Bol Tackshin and WillB like this.
