Comment Near max load...work up to it...shoot for exactly 2900 fps to match ballistics of Shepherd 3-10X P1 scope. Then, mount a Shepherd 3-10X P1 Scope; the 9 ranging rings are correct out to 1000 yards. Perfect long range hunting rifle...easy to kill out to 500 yards...always account for the wind. Load bullet .005 off the lands. Try a Fed 215 Magnum primer if you are going to hunt in sub-freezing weather.
