Nice shooting man.  What's the twist on that barrel?

28"!!!  I bet that 58gr SuperFormance is flat smoking fast out of that barrel. Hornady has been producing some very accurate factory ammo. My Grendels really like their 123 A-Max & SST loads.

My High Wall in 270WSM picks up some UN canny speed at 28"'s pushing 130's! Extra barrel length is nice for extra velocity!
