After 2 years , pulled the trigger on the Cheytac from Lawton.
Did some load up work with Retumbo. Started at 136 grains with Matchkings and Lehigh's . To hot . Went down .5 grains at a time and ended up at 134 grains. Didn't have a chrony , so it's just redneck guessing . Shot at 1k and they all stayed on a 22" steel plate.
Scope zerod @ 400 yards . It took 15.5 min to 1K . Dialed in 30 min and shot first round @1765. pretty low . Adjusted to impact area , and shots 2 thru 10 all on the 48X48 plate.
Steve said shots at a mile were a cake walk . I first thought .... pompas ass .... LOL.. Well , they are a cake walk !
For grins , I loaded up 138 grains of 5010 behind the lehighs. They shot 1.5min high at 1765 with no pressure signs. 101% case fill .
Lawton action , lr bore , McMillian A5 on steroids and shot of Atlas bipod .
The only complaint...... The bastard tourques like a frickin candy cane when you pull the trigger.
