    Also have 60 rounds of the factory "Precision" Hunter 175gr down the barrel as although I think its a bit of gobbledeegoop I wanted to follow Christensens break in procedure in case I had to make any warranty claims on the rifle. Have formed the opinion it is complete shit, really anemic at around that 2720fps average and has a massive extreme spread over those 60 shots slowest was 2598 and fastest was 2782.

    The 180 eld match are not too bad accuracy wise in my gun, but the sd is easily over 30fps.
    I have neck turned 50 new Pietersen brass today and found quite a few inconsistent necks. I will also full length resize with a redding bushing die is the future.

    I'm using Peterson brass in mine and is way better than the Hornady.
    My SD are under 10
