Will chrony the next trip, but not today, 45 mph winds...ugh
Muzzle brake made out of titanium.

i literally just removed my muzzle brake. I only did this because the brake I had on there was from another barrel for my suppressor. Nice looking stick!

I'd push a little higher on the H1000 charge. You will probably see your groups tighten up more and ES/SD drop. You shouldn't be able to stuff enough H1000 in a 243 case to see pressure. I typically see the sweet spot at 47.5-47.8gr. It's a pretty compressed charge but it has worked phenomenally with 105 class bullets in about a half dozen different barrels.
