    Yeah I got a good price on a couple of boxes of A-max, otherwise I'd also be using SSTs most likely.

    One useful piece of advice I was given - not every rifle like boattail projectiles, most shoot flat based projectiles fine, so if you are having issues with accuracy of boat tails, try switching to a flat based projectile (like Sierra Pro Hunter)... I realise the BC isn't as good if you are going for distance, but if you end up with tighter groups at long range, that's really what matters by the sound of it. But definitely start with the SSTs, if they work then great.
