Took it out for some sight in and function check.
Speed is... more than expected by about 50fps. 28.5 (light charge imo) was already over 2500fps.
Accuracy... its there with the 123gr I tried today. That 5 shot group would have been smaller but shooter error.

123gr eldm, new lapua brass, 28.5gr LVR, 2.258 COAL
Sd and es not great but expected since I was just throwing charges, not double checking and wanted to just load up quick for function test, sight in, and break in. I have chrono data for 25 shots to ensure things were looking normal.

I do believe it will run in the high 2700s once a proper charge of about 30gr is set behind the pill. This will be perfect for the intended use case I have in mind.
One final thing... the gun weighs some 18lbs with bipod and no ammo. I enjoyed every ounce of it today. Once I got over how little recoil there was and trusted that the hole on paper came from my gun and there wasn't a malfunction it is an absolute joy to shoot prone. No muzzle device needed, softest shooting gun I own besides a 22lr marlin.
