[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 176377, member: 7194"] I am gonna stick with the 872. 3 shots less than 2.5 inches at 800 yards with only 10.5MOA.....only problem is the 169s crater the heck out of my gong:) I have shot this gong with 7mm 180 bergers, 208gr A-maxs, 115 D-Tacs, bunches of 168 bergers and SMKs, even 55 grain bergers, all with very little damage. Those wildcat 169s went at least 1/4 inch deep. At least it was a good group that permanently marked it. Well actually only 2 out of 3 marked the gong I only cranked up 9.5MOA and hit 1 MOA low the third one hit the chain that encircles the gong. At least the two that did hit were within 2 inches. Good enough since hunting season is ongoing. I did get a little higher velocity out of the T870 before pressure signs but I was getting a little more verticle than I wanted...about 3 inches at 700. It pressured out before I could get rid of the vertical. 3370 at 94.7gr of the T870 vs 3310 at 99gr. for WC872. But these were from one of those $99 chronos. I settled on 97gr wc872 as that is where the accuracy was, jumping .010. Guess I was wrong on which powder had the faster burn rate. [/QUOTE]
