The best ammo I have found at this point is HSM 210 grain Berger and I have tried just about everything out there at this point. Trust me I understand that reloads are much more accurate, but at this point in time I do not have time to reload. I bought the gun to hunt in the Midwest with and most of my shots are inside 500 yards. All of my shooting at this point has been at 100 yards. I have a place where I can shoot 500 yards, but I haven't dare tried this thing at anything over 100 yet in fear I might hit someone in the next county. The "adjustable" trigger is let all the way out and pulls at just over 4#'s…. The same trigger in my 308 will go down to 3#'s. Both of my guns have the same scope (Luepy Mark 4 6.5X20 50mm) and same rings, bases and everything. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'">Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'">Brandon</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
