somehow i would float the front part of the barrel if possible that will always be a small problem otherwise with retaining same point of aim and impact if not floated. you will have to shoot this rifle to find out what grain weight bullet shoots best , myself i have always been more consistent with group size at 100 yards with a heavier bullet. ballistic tip bullets like posted are a great cheaper accurate bullet i sure like them.
