Very accurate
Very consistent groups, trajectory surprised me, it is better than my 224 Valkyrie, at 400 6 is 28" drop and 224 is 37" drop. The powder they are using is very dirty, after 20 rounds was having trouble with function. When I took the bolt apart to clean had to scrape carbon off with a knife. This is a new build with Shilen barrel and head spaced bolt.
