Well, with all of my basement finish duties and daughter’s wedding over, I finally got a chance to take it out and shoot today! Loaded up 5-139gr. Lapua Scenars in new Norma brass and 53-55gr of RL26 in .5gr increments with an OAL of 3.100”. Really nothing to write home about. 54gr. and 55gr shot around 3/4” or a touch bigger. Not horrible but of course I was hoping for better. Gonna try again in some Lapua brass and CCI 200 LRPs and play with seating depth. This is a hunting gun and if I had to go out tomorrow I’m sure I’d hit where I aimed, but I want to see the true potential of this barrel. If 3/4” is it, I damn sure will be screwing on a new 26” SS Criterion over the winter!

Thanks for the help guys!

All you need to know about Democrats is they call American citizens "Deplorables" and illegal immigrants "Dreamers"!
