    I was shooting the 140gr amax pills Gillie from memory they where right in the edge of transonic?
    Maybe they where under? Unsure I don't have the data anymore.
    But it was easily grouping moa which I found amazing.
    You had time to pull the trigger, lift your head and remove airmuffs in time to hair a faint ding

    Yep pretty cool, when shooting those sort of distances i have to remind myself to squeeze then "thousand one, thousand two" and then look for the impact! Otherwise i am generally too quick to cycle the bolt and miss seeing the impact through the scope.
    You cannot miss fast enough!

    one thousand one, one thousand two, you should try one thousand five & a half
