[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2826375, member: 18402"] Well I finally got the right rings from talley and had a chance to take it out to the range. [ATTACH]52594[/ATTACH][ATTACH]52595[/ATTACH] recoil was surprisingly tame with the 175gn accubond long rage bullet. Closer to a 270 weatherby in feel. Velocity was lackluster (insert sarcasm)on the factory nosler trophy grade ammo. 3158 average fps over my magneto speed chrony. Encountered a couple of blown primers with the factory ammo as well. Only shot five rounds and am breaking the barrel in per nosler specs. Between sighting in the kahles and cleaning I haven't shot a true group with it yet. I'm calling the nosler techs tomorrow to see what powder they where using before I fire any of my handloads. I used imr 7828ssc retumbo and h4831sc in my handloads but am apprehensive to shoot any of them as I expect velocity to be over 100fps faster with the same bullet and work up from there. A little disappointed in the factory ammo actually. Talked to a couple of other guys who found the same issue my guess is they are using a blended powder see what the tech tells me. Other than the blown primers and sticky bolt lift I'm happy with the rifle should have shot my reloads first but since my fiancé bought a box of the factory stuff I thought I'd use it for the break in period. I'll post another range report once I have a chance to shoot it agin Sent from NSA wire tapped device. [/QUOTE]
