    As a new CM convert, I can say they are easy to load for and get a "good load going". I havent experimented much but really havent needed to.
    Rifle came with 130 ELDM's but I didnt really cotton on to them, tried a box of 140 ELDM's and thats been it. On a good day.
    I shoot 600yd 1/2 MOA groups, 10 shots open up to 1 MOA. Thats in a bit of wind and rain with not a lot of time between shots.

    The 140's definitely buck the wind better than the lighter projo's

    My load isnt a barrel burner or anything clever, I did a short ladder test and came up with 41.5 grains of 2209 on my own, only to discover that is what everyone talks about anyway

    Looks like I shoot the same rifle as @The Claw but I'm not allowed to keep it in the bedroom
