Default Browning Micro Hunter Range Results

I finally got my Browning Micro Hunter 325WSM, lefty, after a long wait. I loaded up 20 rounds of a light load of 51 gr of IMR4895 and Sierra 220 gr bullets to break it in.Topped it with aBurris short mag 3-9X scopeand took it to the range today. I fired six shots to sight it in, cleaning after each round. Then 3 - 3 shot sets cleaning after each 3. The last 5 shots were fired just to see what it would do. Four shots went neatly into the 1" diamond and one shot,the second one,a called pull, went 1" right. Discounting the bad shot, the remaining 4 measured .55" center-center. I can't wait until I work up an 'accurate' load with this rifle. I'm going to be trying Hornady, Nosler Accubonds, and Barnes TSX bullets.
Surprisingly this little rifle, about 7 1/2 lbs., didn't kick as much as I thought. My Savage 116 in .30-06 kicks harder. My only complaint is the trigger. Although adjustable, at its lightest setting, is still too heavy for my taste. I would like it to break just about 3 lbs. But I can live with it for now.
