The groupings were ok, realistically 1.5", the barrel was hot after the first few rounds so that hurt it but 1.5" groups is ok for factory ammo in a non-broke in gun. It needs more rounds through it before I actually truly shoot for max bullet on target effect. The hand loads will really make a difference I am sure, they always do. I have quite a few 25cal components so it should be a smooth issue to work up. Mainly going to work up Noslers as I really like them in my other 25-06 and have had great success with them on game. I think Federal tops their rounds with Noslers but they are pricey.

The trigger is adjustable but I will not play with it too much untill I get a base round work up then fine tune the weapon. Its fairly light weight also.
