For the time being, unless you don't mind burning money or you're a very clever shopper, do your best to steer clear of 6.5mm and potentially 7mm. Ie. 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Swede, 7mm08 etc. The range...

Does' nt make any logical sense that it groups under 1moa at 100 ; thus meeting warrenty; but shoots wildly at 200. . There is another "remote" possibility, as follows:-- If tbe aiming mark is...
