[QUOTE="MJBEAR, post: 430620, member: 27286"] I have been shooting this ammo for quite sometime. I find it at great prices and there are always quantity of it around. Lately it has been hard to find. I am glad I bought over 200 rounds of it. I recently took my MIA loaded out with a 6x40 fixed range-finding recticle (springfield) and shot first at 500yrds at a cement bag. After finding my dope at 500 i took 5 shots and hit the same area within 4-6 inch groups. If I had to be accurate about it I would say it was closer to 5 or 6 inch groups. The next dope was dialed at 600yrds and it became more eratic in grouping but it was still hitting the target (20 inch paper target). I am proud to say every round is on the paper. Didn't measure that one though. Personally I believe 600yrds out of an MIA is the max effective range. I then shot 700yrds at a 10 inch steel target. Steel target was hit 7 times out of 10. The wind at the end picked up over 7mphs and you can see the bullet walk if you have a good pair of Binos. This ammo is a great for the price and walks the walk with accuracy. The only problem I had out of the ammo was that every 10th or 12th bullet the extractor would not extract the expended shell. I clean that barrel with a plactic rod and am sure to be thorough in cleaning it due to its worth. I am not sure what that is about. Do you have any idea why it won't extract? Let me know... [/QUOTE]
