After a bit of hunting around with various loads which are covered with black dots. I found a load that this rifle simply seems to love. The final load it settled in with was 62.5 grs of IMR34831 pushing a 289 gr Nosler Partition @ 2175 FPS.

I made a sight adjustment after R&L 1 and moved to a better supported shooting position for the final four shots L&R 2 and L&R 3. This was with iron sights at 50 yards. This little rifle is showing some serious accuracy potential!

BTW I bought this rifle from FLGrizzly several weeks ago, it is a Chapuis UGEX and is case colored. Thanks for the shooter Frank! At 100 yards the rifle is doing fabulous as well and seems to be crossing just slightly at that range.

Excellent group. It is satisfying to finally find a good load.

It would have made a better picture if you leaned the rifle against a tree instead of laying it down in front of a log. Big Grin

Nice shooting!
