Had barrel cut threaded to 18”, Timney trigger set at 1.5#, that’s all that is done to it. Vortex PSY II 3-15x44, Badger Ordnance 20 MOA railTPS extra low rings, Diligent defense enticer S. Worked up a load using Peterson SRP brass 168 grn SMK’s Remington 7 1/2 benchrest primers 44 grns Varget 2.830 OAL max I can get in box mag Average velocity 2560 fps Consistent sub MOA shooter if I do my part Today’s results, little bit of wind today but didn’t affect things to much
