[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 312417, member: 10"] Jim, I have seen this alot with all of my wildcats using the Wildcat bullets(old versions which I am sure are the same). Even more dramatic the longer the bullet or the faster they are driven. I was driving the 169 gr ULD to 3400 fps and at 100 yards, it was common to see 3/4 moa groups and then by 500 yards those groups would tighten up to consistantly well under 1/2 moa and carry out to very long distances with that level of accuracy or better. The 200 gr ULD was even more dramatic. In fact my personal rifle in my 7mm AM would average between 3/4 and 1 moa at 100 yards. In fact I was very unimpressed with its performance, That is until I tested it at 800 yards one morning and it was punching pretty consistant 4" groups at that range. It has been so consistant that I tell all my customers to not even worry about 100 yard groups and to set up at 500 yards or more when doing load development if possible. Good to hear those three AMPs are behaving for you!!! [/QUOTE]
