    Well...barrel bedded, barrel chopped to 22" and A-Tec QD suppressor on it now. Tried ladder with 180gn ELDMs and RE26 starting at 58gn and going up in 0.2 increments.

    Split the ladder test into 3 shot groups. First group nice triangle shape 0.8MOA. Keep in mind last time I shot 180gn I stopped after the first 2 shots that were 2" apart.

    Definitely showing some promise.

    Yes not much of a drop. I did forget to run the brass through a body die.

    Hi Tikka7mm08,
    What's the app you're using to measure your groupings?

    How does the labradar go?

    Cheers
