Both my friends 18 inch and my 16 inch like that bullet over 29.2 grains of h335 and a cci450 srm primer.
My bolt action that I shot this doe with is much higher and not safe for the ar action. Lol my friend now owns that rifle as well.
And I just replaced it with a 25 inch barreled cz527 grendel varmint model. 85 grain Maker should be smoking fast out that barrel.
