Darn good shooting as usual RR. Hopefully you get that ejector issue figured out. I know you really like that Universal load, but wondering if a different powder might not soot up a much and help with ejection. Hopefully, it will work itself out. Sure seems accurate!

A 250 gr. XTP bullet with 19-20 gr. of Alliant 2400 would be something to see thru that rifle!

Your 2nd outing is incredible with those 200 yd shots and iron sights!!!! :o
My thinking exactly.
Very impressive RR.

I'm sure you will get the extractor thing figured out.
