[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1099379, member: 91090"] when I used to shoot 100yd benchrest we all used 52 to 55 grain bullets but we used 1:12 twist. That was before 6mm took over. I have 1:7.7 twist. I have a bunch of berger and sierra flat based 52 to 55 gr bullet that I shoot from time to time but they really need a slower twist barrel. a 1:9 even would be better. I really want this one for reaching out to the limits of .223. Maybe one day. as far as the long range boatail match Mk and VLD's and such grouping better at 200 than 100. Doesn't seem feasible for a bullet to have that much yaw at 100 and stabilize out there about 200 or 300. The physics just baffles me Now I can see that with these new high powered scopes you could actually have a more precise aiming point at these longer ranges. that would make it a lower MOA group. Say 3" group at three hundred yards is 1 MOA. With a more precise bulls eye and a high magnification scope you might do better at longer range. [/QUOTE]
