My Rocky Mountain Rifle from Corlane

is a real shooter. I'm headed to the mountains for sheep tomorrow and last night I finished up load development. Using 130 grain Berger VLD I was able to hit 2940 fps without pressure signs and fair to middling accuracy. The targets are 200 and 300 yard groups. I want to shoot the 140 VLD out of the rifle but didn't have time to develop two loads. Using the Zeiss Rapid Z system in my scope sheep are in trouble out to 800 yards.

200 yard target. Made a 2 click adjustment down after this group.

300 yard group, the rifle shoots better than I do.
