Ok 1-7. Then you need to feed it heavy pills. What weight projectiles were you shooting ? You will get the best accuracy with 69-75 grain projectiles.

Ok good to know, appreciate all the info guys. Also, thinking about setting the zero for 100 yds.

Either 50 or 100yd zero will work just fine. Personal choice really and what yo plan the rifles role will be. HD? Probably better to have a 25yd zero.

I think for HD a 100 yd zero is perfect. Look at the silhouette from the image attached in my last post. The hit area barely moves between 25 and 200 yds with a 100 yd zero. There's also no hold-unders with this zero, only holdovers.
