Okay loaded up amd tested velocity.
100gr of 2209 with 570gr gives 2028fps. Will push up to 102 for competition.

Well I put 102gr of 2209 pushing a 570gr Betram in Betram brass which got me 2065fps or about 5390ftlb of energy.
Here's me putting the right barrel through the chrono. It was however shooting very low with the sights so I've decided to remove it and replace with an Aimpoint H1 micro 2MoA and sight it in next week at 100m and if I got time I'll test out to 200m.

The great things about blaser is the mounting options.
However I'm thinking I'll need to find a Swaro EE because otherwise a normal eye relief is going to result in a black eye.
