Just an update. Been playing out in the woods and fields. I have been taking cardboard silhouettes of deer into the woods and fields and practicing field shooting positions. Under 100 yards is simply no more fun. Yesterday I tried 4 shots at appx 150 yards holding dead on. 3 rounds went into 1 5/8" about 2" lower than where I held. And I dropped one round(about 5") into the front leg. Yes, that one spoiled my mood, even though the other three, I was quite pleased with. I don't think I would shoot this far if I was hunting, I am just airing it out and enjoying myself. I am enjoying this barrel, still just a bit concerned about terminal ballistics.
