I've been working up 168 and 175 grain loads using 4895. So far 650 rounds through the rifle. Last Saturday at the range I put 55 rounds of 168 grain Sierra Match King through the Oehler 35P with an average 2660 fps. Very accurate load in my rifle.

Not a very good photo of the airborne mount but there it is. So far after several hundred rounds it still holds zero.

I agree about the dove tail adapter... It caused the same problem on mine with the first one I got. I went to a machine shop with my original dove tail, and had them machine one for me, and it has been on the rifle ever since without issue. The first one
I got, was so far off it would not line up at 200Yds.. Out at 500 and above it was unusable.
