[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 462364, member: 22600"] + on Ammo. Remington is not touted for it's long range ability. If you are shooting this well with Remington Core-lokt bullets, my guess is that you will be pleasantly surprised with some Premium Ammo. If you want to make long range your game then ultimately you will want to start loading your own. By doing so you can tailer a specific load to your rifle.
