    Hey @6.5 CRD, How'd you get on with the load development? I have a vixen I need to do the same on soon, except it has a different barrel so need to confirm the twist.

    I have been given some loads that a previous family member did for the rifle, but I would rather not use them and pull them all. Believe it's a 55gr SST with Varget or titegroup.

    Got a load sorted for it. R-P Brass, WRE Primer, Hornady 55gr SP #2266b. 25.5gr of LVR. 3050fps & consistent .6 moa groups. Went to 26.6gr & 3150fps but wasnt as accurate & couldnt be bothered wasting time trying to get it to shoot better.
