[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 873649, member: 61747"] I don't know what the G7 for the Matrix is but the G1 is advertised as .680. Berger VLD is .612 / .313. I would imagine the G7 of the 160 is around .340 to .347 but I am not sure. The first time I shot the 160 I was able to dial in .25 moa on a 200 yard zero. I shot 400, 680, then 1010. I videod the sequence but it is on an older camera and I could get it up load to my computer. At 1000 I put two separate groups of 5 on the rock. The first group was 3x4 and the second was 4x4, for 4. I pulled 1 about 4" right. The next time out I tried to shoot 1400 in the mountains and my solution was not working me. At 980 I shot a rock for 3 shots and it was 4x5. My last time shooting the 160 was at 1280 yards. I did not measure the group but in the scope (NF NXS 5.5x22 NPR1) the size came in at 1 MOA. 6 out 6 were on the rock. If you split the rock in 1/2 all 6 hit the right side of the 1 MOA rock. Now, the 140 at 1300 has done well for me too but I have noticed from 1300-1500 it opens up more and so far I am only able to shoot around 1 MOA. I personally think the 140 is not as stable due to the slower LR fps. I could be wrong but I wondering if the bullet is starting to wobble a bit. I have not done a lot of shooting at 1500 because it has proven to be a bit of a waste of time with lack of a good spotter and not being able to get first round cold bore hits on 1 moa or less size targets. Not sure if this helps or not but it has been my experience. I just got a new box of matrix bullets, yesterday actually. The bearing surface is .685 compared to the last batch of .676 and the length went to 1.506 vs 1.496. 140 VLDs have been .562 / 1.421. Big difference in bearing surface.
