Merry Christmas everyone.
I was at the range finally testing hand loads on the rest. I was shooting 168gr SMKs, H4895 powder, CCI BR2 primers. Powder charges were 40.0gr, 40.5gr, 41.0gr, 41.5gr, & 42.0gr. It seems like the rifle likes the slower loads. The 40.0 gr and 40.5 gr loads both shot really well. 41.0 gr and 41.5 gr groups were also 3/4" moa. Here are the pics for the 40.0 gr and 40.5 gr groups. I will probably test a few more groups as I'm still undecided to load 40.0 gr or 40.5 gr. Both are pretty good in my opinion.
Based on my results today, I really think this is a 3/4" moa rifle. Not bad for a suped up battle rifle. When I built this rifle I was hoping for sub moa, so mission accomplished and then some. And all it took as a crap load of money. No regrets, and I'm keeping this rifle for life.
