    My barrel is 1:14 so at this stage I haven't worked out a load for any 60gn I tried some today and they shot pretty average but at least they wernt going sideways like the barnes ttsx ! the most accurate has been the 55gn sierra pretty much put 3 shots in the same hole today
    The Green party putting the CON in conservation since 2017
