Hello 500Nitro,

Well, here is my first group - 2-5/8" at 50 yds. and about 5-1/2" above point of aim. I used 45g of R15 with a 270 Hornady SP and WLR primers. Overall loaded length (picked at random) was 3.300" I think its a good starting point. The ave velocity was 1764 fps with a spread of only 20fps. In fact 4 of the 6 shots were within 6 fps.

This velocity was not too far off my estimate of 1700 fps.

I did try 2 each at 46g @ 1820 fps ave (it shot 1/2" higher) and 47g @ 1869 fps ave (it shot 1-1/4" higher and cases showed signs of "sticking" so 47g is too hot in this rifle)

Next load will be reduced to 44g and 43g and 42g, to see if the groups shoot lower and tighter. I will also try some 235g just for fun.

Now, as far as shooting goes, THIS LITTLE BUGGER IS FUN! Recoil is very manageable, and I could shoot it all day long.
