[QUOTE="zach_destroys, post: 1899543, member: 113139"] Figured I would update this for anyone who is looking. I finally got out to testing this ammo earlier. I chronographed the first 3 rounds. 2986 average. 4 fps extreme spread! Pretty good for factory stuff. I didn't bother to shoot groups but zeroed at 200. Entered data into Hornadys ballistic calculator and resulted in 1st shot hits out to 500 yards. I plan on running another box out to 750 which is about as far as I can shoot off my back porch. The Norma G1 BC given was .615 which is what I used in my calculations. Seems to be close because bullet drop was dead on. Shooting to 750 will tell more. For factory ammo I'm extremely pleased. I dug one bullet out of the dirt from behind my cardboard at 100 yards. Penetrated about 10" of wet dirt. Resulted in 100.2 grains of retained weight. Lead is definitely bonded to the jacket. No separation. [/QUOTE]
