Don't assume that you have to walk for hours to get away from everyone else to get a deer. Far more deer are walked past than shot.

The Norma box says 3035 fps from a 26" barrel so to get 3090 average from a brand new 24 1/2" barrel that will gain a bit of speed with break in is pretty good. All three groups were under 18mm @100...
