It's not as precise as PNW Arms ammo, but it does work. After 900 yards the placement is critical. Again gents, thank you.

[QUOTE="M40A5 Shooter, post: 839889, member: 58573"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Hello folks, you all have some excellent information. I guess I need to really try 185grain loads.

Of course it’s all on the shooter and a **** good rifle, but now i have some outside experience in adding extra weight to the bullet and some good ballistic calculations, along with a good website.
