    4 shots, 2609, 2651, 2606 and an outlier at 2751.
    Based in Te Awamutu. Haven't even fired the rifle yet as I only purchased it secondhand recently, still as yet to grab some ammo. I've often used the Hornady whitetail with satisfactory results, but I'll probably grab a few boxes of different stuff to try out. That's faster then I would have thought from the 17inch barrel.
