Never shoot more than 3 shot quick lots in the feild anyway and in the field flinch/ recoil is less of an issue. Those groups were the last for the day so allready had 25 rounds of 160's at 3K which kick just as hard so hense the snatching at the trigger Looking at getting some Barnes 140's for bush but the mag length 180VLD still shot pretty good so will try that on animals first

I have a .223 that wont shoot 60-62 gr pills but shoots everthing either side. Annoying.
Where do the lighter pills lose it leathal, wind, stability or your just not happy with them.
Just reread your post properly. Gotya. I use 130's in my 6.5 and it is around the same, about 700 it loses it in energy. But I still in fair/good conditions push it further on targets. I like trying to nut out decieving winds. just dont like wasting the ammo it sometimes takes doing it
