[QUOTE="TejasRider, post: 2878980, member: 110279"] Thought I'd share some pics of my finished Iron Man 7SS rifle. It seems I still have some more speed available but I have settled on a 63.3 gr load of MagPro behind a 180 ELD-M for now. It's giving me 2830 fps but expect to gain a little speed as the barrel breaks in. First 50 shots were to get velocity data and look for pressure signs at a local 100 yard range. Loaded up 50 more and took the rifle out to 1040 yards a few weeks ago. Without confirming 100 yard zero or getting fresh chrono data, I just dialed based on my ballistic calculator and was off by about 2 mils left and maybe 2.5 mils low. By the 3rd shot, I hit steel and the next 2 were within about 7" of the first. A few other guys got some time behind the trigger including someone that didn't do much long range shooting and he connected on his first shot. Everyone commented on how easy it was to manage the recoil and get back on target. Love this rifle! [ATTACH type="full"]484791[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]484792[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
