[QUOTE="Matt27, post: 35353, member: 781"] Jerry, Yes those numbers are higher than they showed simply for the fact that i was shooting into a 10-15 mph head wind and when the wind would switch to 12:30 or 1:00 they hit higher. The sst's hit higher than the 139's.All the steel targets had a 12" center painted white. There wasn't anything scientific about the shooting. I just compared impact points with how many Moa it took to get their between the bullets.With the same Moa to get to all the ranges the SST's were hitting higher than the 139's but all were in the center aiming point. From shooting i would guess ,like you, the SST's are higher than the 139's. I will try and get to the range this weekend and test some more. Have to find some more Ramshot hunter powder though. I do think the construction of the SST's is far better for a bullet than the scenar. All our steel targets are out of T-1. From 500 out to 1000 the SST's left a bigger impact than the 139's. At 1000 you could tell where the 139's hit but didn't leave any noticable mark of where point of impact was. Now the SST's left a noticable impact point. In the middle of impact there was a silver spot twice the size of bullet diameter. Definately hit and transfered better as was the Ringing from impact heard. I wish Mike Rock would get my 30" barrel shipped to me. I should be able to get 3000fps or close hopefully with his barrel. I already am pushing 2800 with my 24" factory sporter. I don't have any signs of pressure and my brass has been loaded 8 times or more. [/QUOTE]
