Not where I'd like to be
shoot it as is first...
...lots of rifles like a little pressure on the barrel.


I shot it a few days ago. Only 6 rounds so far, not enough to know anything. I couldn't go on until I fixed the stock.
My problem with the pressure on the barrel is that it's inconsistent. It can be different if I'm holding it, on bags, or on a bipod.
Anyway, yesterday I fixed it. Wrapping a chunk of sandpaper around various sized sockets (think socket wrench) worked well. I had to work at it a while to take enough out to get it to float while on my bipod and with my suppressor on the end. With a cheap plastic stock, you can get away with that.

Sorry SVN, the Fusions didn't work out that great:

That's probably ok for your average Joe, but that aint me.

The good news is that the rifle seems to be a fan of the 150 TTSX:

That's a four shot group. Now I just need to load some more and see if I can replicate it.

Only problem is it was the lightest load in the ladder, so probably not getting the velocity I want.
I'll need to chrony it and hopefully not fall into the 'velocity greed' trap.
