Default Second outing with the new accura

I had a few minutes to shoot my new accura yesterday after I got done planting a couple of food plots. The more I shoot it the more I am impressed. I shot a couple 3 shot groups at 100 yards. My first group was with 110 grains of 777 2f powder and a 250 grain shock wave, that group was about 1.5 inches. It didnt seem to like the 250's as much as it does the 200 grainers. My second group was with 120 grains of 777 2f and a 200 grain shock wave. That group measured .8 inches center to center. I will have to play with it a bit more at longer ranges, but as of now Im happy with that as a deer load.

I have the camo thumbhole stock with the stainless barrel. I have a leupold 4.5-14 power vari-X 3 on it.

Thanks for the pic. That's a really nice looking rifle - It's on my Christmas list, but I doubt Santa will bring it this year....
