Well, the rifle and i burned up a pound of RL15 in less than a week. In these times it is impossible for me to purchase more of this powder. It seemed prudent to save the 1/2 pound left, for use during hunting season. This led me to try a different load using Vihtavuori N540 powder i had on hand. It seems to have worked pretty good. The 120g Nosler Ballistic Tip starts out at 2715 fps when pushed by 36g of the N540. The scope elevation dial was adjusted to zero for a 100 yard zero.

The scope has a plain reticle, so for shooting longer ranges, the elevation dial is turned up; seems to work good. It very well may be, i will switch powders for hunting, and not use the RL15 anymore. Soon, after more experiment, i may have Leupold engrave me a custom elevation dial in yards, for this caliber/rifle. For now, the elevation dial is turned up 2 moa for shooting at 200 yard when scope and rifle are zeroed at 100 yard. For shooting 300 yard the dial is twisted up 4 1/2 moa. The other day a milk jug filled with water was smucked at 375 yard with the elevation dial turned up 7 1/2 moa.
