rifle completed and load development done with both
berger 210 and vapor trail 204.
shot 600 today to get a zero, the 210 bergers were up first,
and the 204 vapor trails had essentially the same elevation but hit a bit left.
a very nice day at ben avery

What cartridge did you chamber it for?

have been shooting norma brass which weight sorts poorly IMHO.
got some ADG brass a while back, did a weight sort of 500 pcs and kept just under 300, sold the others in sorted lots at cost. plus or minus 0.1 vs 0.5 for the norma
been doing some load development and fire forming
basically adjusted load based on the diff in case volume of the norma and the adg, adg has more volume. (known good load with norma, adjusted for the adg, and then .3 gr steps in 3x groups)
at 100 yards 0.071" yes i know 3 shots and only 100. last three loads all had vertical, first three did not.
 
wondering what scope you chose to put on your new build?
currently a 15-55 nf comp..BUT as there is no weight limit, i am going to try a valdada 10-60x 40mm tube very shortly..( see the comments on comp forum of accurateshooter)
