When we can get them we will use 80 gr A-Max, trying 75 gr as no 80gr left to purchase.

This rifle has been shot out to 1000 yards. In heavier winds (aka Trentham) it can struggle at 1000 - though its first ever shot at 1000 at Trentham was an 'X'.




223 is less expensive and can be equally competitive.

Cyclops, what speed are you getting with the 75s and how about the 80s?
