The crosshairs on that little cheap Leupold scope are thick as my leg, I'm convinced with a nice scope on it this may be a one-hole load,, anyway it's a cold crisp day here very windy I shot and let the gun rest for just maybe 3 minutes The barrel cooled off instantly so those I would consider all cool barrel shots The bore on the rifle feels excellent by the way it is a Wilson barrel.
 
I'll shoot that same load again tomorrow maybe tweak it a little bit more and shoot some 250 furys and some 250 Pittman's I was hoping that 16 twist would shine with the jacketed 240 to 250 40 cal bullet in a sabot it looks like it's going to
