11/24/12 - So far I have sighted this bad boy in at 100 yards and kept a pretty consistent group but I'm not happy with it yet. I may try shooting a lower grain bullet to see if I can get them tighter. The barrel twist is a 12 and from the research I have done they are saying that the less twists in the barrel the bigger grain bullet you can shoot accurately. Hornady makes a bad ass 50GR round that shoots at 3517 FPS and 1373 ft-lbs at 100 yards. I'll pick up a box of those the next time I hit the range. Once this gun is cutting holes at 100 I will move out to 200 yards and let you all know how it does. Below is the trajectory of the vmax bullet. Overall this caliber is amazing. If you need more power then a .223 pick up the 22-250. 

Trajectory (inches)
Muzzle	100	200	300	400	500
-1.50	0.70	0.00	-4.30	-13.50	-29.10

Update: This gun a super easy to do a trigger job on. You can literally have this gun a part and back together in 10 minutes or less. Cut 1.5 turns off your spring and now you're shooting tighter groups.
