I did finally get some factory ammo in for it. I doubt it will live up to it's full potential with the factory ammo, but I'm anxious to see what it can do.

I typically don't do that, but this is such a nice rifle, and I don't often come across builds like this in my area.

Re33 gave me great velocities and accuracy, but was dirty and not temp stable at all. I switched to retumbo. Speed is down to 3000fps, but it’s just as accurate and I can shoot longer between cleaning. Last edited by chicoredneck; 02/07/19.
