Did some internet digging and came up with a few different loads I wanted to try. I loaded up a few groups and hit the range.
With a freshly cleaned bore, I put the remaining Fed 168 GMM through the bore to foul it before testing. The group reported was the Clean Cold Bore, the rest of the groups hovered around the 1 - 1.25 MOA mark. This also served as baseline to see if I could hold the same groups as when I had the 20x scope on it. Comfortable with the results, I started the testing.
*All groups were shot with a Trijicon 4x. This is what the rifle will be setup for, a light easy to handle rifle good for 500m.
Range 100m
M118LR duplicate
H4895 with 42.0g
175g
1.04 MOA
RL-15 with 43.0g
175g
0.93 MOA
Fed 168g Gold Medal Match
*Clean cold bore*
1.21 MOA
Varget 42.5
175g
1.27 MOA
*ideally I wanted to up to 44.5, but got pressure signs at 42.5*
This barrel seems to be sub-MOA capable with the right ammo, and will shoot anything you throw at it around 1 - 2 MOA mark.
I not done testing just yet, I will post more as I go on. Almost there.
