    2nd Norma brass group.



    Will need to laser out 100m as the range is 100y at present and scope is mils...but Strelok should covert all I need I think.

    Reset the turret to zero, still got 16.8mil full adjustment. Plugged in the values to Strelok, good for 1700 yards LOL.

    From my limited time with magnetospeed I've found it opens up my groups. Great for telling velocity though!

    Don't be surprised if the biggest accuracy variable turns out to the the projectile, not the brass brand or what's hanging on the barrel. Those LRABs can be seriously unforgiving.

    Bob, both the 150 NBT and SGK shoot and perform very well

    BTs are normally my go to with other cals but camowsm kindly gave me the LRABs to try. I'll try a cold barrel group with Norma brass and see how we go. I was more interested in the effect of the brass comparison...and although I have a stack of Rem brass I can now happily use Norma brass which is my favorite brass.
