Just back from the 300 m range. Tried to figure out what speed my hand loads dish out. Will plug the information I got by shooting today into JBM when I get home. Only shot 7 shots today (what was left of my hand loads). I will have to load up some more, so I can hit the range again.

Standard Varmint 308 barrel.
S&B PMII 10x42
Optilock rings
GRS Bifrost stock
Vertebrae muzzle break
Harris bipod
It shoots like any Tikka should.
