I had figured that the bolt was cycled for the purpose of loading or unloading of the chamber, thus representative of the use the barrel has seen. I shot the first group with 55 gr fmjs and the second group with 55 gr vmax. The frist group was 1.5 and the second with the hornadys was about an inch. I do realize that I may have to play with a few different loads to find the optimal one. I did not mention the rifle has a trigger job and is extremely light, to the point where you may not want to shoot it with a glove. I probably should buy it since he (my old man) only wants 350 for it with a scope.
