Well, it has taken some time, but I am finally getting things worked out with my OBR. I've played with load development and refining my gasser technique, taken a pretty long break to go back to my bolt for some competitions, and recently gotten back to getting everything working with the OBR.
I really like this rifle. It is both highly accurate and reliable. The addition of the Surefire MB has really helped my ability to spot my own shots. In fact, the group below only looks like a 4 shot group because my first shot was off the right edge. I was able to see the splash, correct the wind call and put the next 4 rounds into a ~4" group at 805 yards.
This is an 18" OBR firing handloads:
LC LR brass
44.4 grains Varget
175 SMK
FED 210M
MV ~2535fps
If you are thinking - "hey those bullet holes look a bit strange" - I was in the process of throwing the target away when I decided to snap the photo, so I slapped it back onto a piece of clean cardboard.
