[QUOTE="MAX, post: 4366, member: 184"] I'm not expert is this arena but IMO your SD's are just fine. Any time you wander into single digits w/ spreads and SD, AND the gun shoots well you have done about as well as can be expected. Sometimes I see loads with stellar numbers that do NOT shoot [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ...very perplexing and frustrating. Others may disagree but I think the twist in your rifle favors the heavier bullets in caliber. None of the lightweights have a lot of snap left beyond 300 yds or so, and though they may shoot on paper, their performance on larger game than prairie dogs is suspect. LONG range shooting is primarily the domain of high BC and heavy bullets for caliber(yes, they're related). That would be my .02 worth. [/QUOTE]
