Sweet little rifle. Decent groups for Factory as well. Once you start load development things are certain to get even better. Lever and something between 28.8 and 29.2 should duplicate velocity numbers and your groups will get smaller. At least that’s what I have noticed in my AR. I suspect and others have reported1 grain higher will give similar results with more velocity for bolt guns. My bolt Gun isn’t finished yet so that’s speculation on my part at this point. 29gr Lever and the 108s do well in my setup and most others I’ve seen are between the range I mentioned. This seems to be a much easier caliber to load for than some others I’ve played with. The 224 Valkyrie was a pain to find good loads for. Found 2 solid loads first outing. I really like the package you put together and plan to follow. Let us know once you find a good recipe.
