I needed to run a few more rounds through the SPR before I felt confident in developing a load. It only had 40 rounds down the tube, and I'm still running the load from my last upper. Wife asked to go too. Sure why not; it's just trigger time.
I crack off three and rang steel at 200, 300, and 400. I set it up for 300 because that is the largest plate at 12", and the wife leaves a gray spot in the center. I say lets try 400. She throws three rounds at a 40% IPSC at 400 yards and...
We drove out to the target, and it was a 2 3/16" group. She asked if that was good, and I said, well I know bolt guns that don't shoot that good.
I've since switched the plate rack at 400 to 4", 3", and 2" squares for a sort of KYL rack. I centered the 4" first shot, dropped the first low at the 3", and caught it with the second, and center punched the 2" with the fourth shot.
I can't recommend CLE and Bartlein enough. CLE puts together one damn fine rifle with arguably the best customer service, and we all know Bartlein turns out the best tubes.
