Im Glad they are shooters, being tikka though that isn’t a surprise. :drinks:
Are you planning on handloading and going long range or just hunting and plinking?

tried speer varmint 130gr around 26.5 cents each inc. postage, not too bad, looks like 45.7-46.0 will be the best load, the good thins is POIs nearly the same compare to other projectiles, the speer varmint 130gr can be a good training round at short range

Some great shooting with a great rifle...!! :thumbsup:

Great load development, how does she go at longer ranges? Is there somewhere you can open her up a bit? Pity there isn't an indoor 100 metre range is there?

there is no longer range in St Mary's
no time to do long range shooting now, have to leave the refined development later...

Sometimes it is easier to read your results at 200 than 100 because elevation changes are magnified. Your 50 metre groups are also difficult because none of the groups look terrible. You might discount a group because of shooter error. It doesn't look like you will have too much trouble hitting what you are aiming at out in the paddock however. A lot of rifles do well with the ZMax, I do hope Hornady continue with production of this projectile.
