Was wondering if you received your rifle yet and if you shot it?

Hi frank
 I picked up the rifle, and loaded some test rounds didn't have a lot of time to load up a large variety of powder/bullet combos, I went with a 100 gn nosler ballistic tip seated over  81 gns of IMR 7828, no cronograph (yet) to test velocity, but I got average groups of  3/4" @ 100 yds  my range pretty much maxes out at 250 yds I set up some grapefruit sized rocks out there  and made some expensive gravel, very impressive.  won't have much time to load for a while, I'm moving to colorado to go to the colorado school of trades this winter(gunsmithing) I'll keep you posted if I get more time to shoot
Take care
Robert
is that just one hole ?
