    The M6x6mm hollow pointed ones are 387 grains

    They shot to the exact same point as the solid
    50m group from standing hasty rest with basic tang rear and globe front with a post insert

    So I have drifted the globe a little to the right which should bring the impact to the left
    And I have dropped the rear staff half a turn to bring down the group just a little

    Will shoot again this afternoon and if it just above the bull then it's locked in and ready to go hunting with
