what load did you use?
My 243 should be back from T/C with in the next day or so. I had to ship it back because it was leaving scratches on the neck every time I fire it.

Great shot and nice pestol. I just got my .243 Encore Hvy brl sighted in. I'm using the 87grn Hornady BTHP with 36grns of Varget. It is shooting great. I shoots about the same group with the Sierra 100grn SP Pro Hunter and 33grns of Varget only about 2" lower. I took this pistol Prairie Dog shooting last friday and took 8 with 10 shots between 150 & 200 yds. This is a Custom Shop Full Bull rifle barrel cut off to 15 and a break added. You can shoot from the bench with the bipod holding the grip with light grip pressure and the barrel recoils less than my bull .223.
Wish we had the bruiser ground hogs here like that. We have to do with Prairie Dogs.
