Well the rifle has been a work in progress but have not really changed anything major except projectile and powder....and optic now. Lucky for me the free scope I picked up worked great even though it was a 12x hunting scope with only .5 mil graduations on the reticle. Thankfully the wind was easy to read and predictable that day. I recently switched to 95gr VLDs from the 105 VLDs after seeing their performance at 900+. Our little 6ARC case needs to work pretty hard to get the speed needed to maximize BC at distance and I didn't want to risk a case head separation or break a bolt doing so. The 95gr VLDs can get some pretty good speed and it makes up for the lower BC from what I've been seeing.
Current load:
Berger 95gr VLD Target

Was and 8 SD and 17 ES when I chrono'd before the match
