I picked one up recently. It came with a nice scope already mounted. I also got a set of reloading dies from Lee (more about that later). I loaded up some ammo with Hornady 150 gr. FMJBT bullets and IMR 4198 powder in new Winchester brass.
I took it to a range and got it nearly zeroed in. I was unable to seat the bullets to what the Hornady manual said the OAL should be set at. The gun still shot the ammo quite accurately. I was able to find a set of RCBS loading dies and they were ably to finish the job. I'm taking the rifle to a range again soon. Maybe today if the roads are OK here.
Will report on how the gun shoots with this ammo. I still have until the end of the year to use the rifle for hunting on an indian reservation so I may be able to see if the round can kill deer.
