    From a 24inch barrel apparently, sounds bloody flat shooting if that's the case!
    The 150gr gmx superformance is doing 2635 from my 16” Howa.

    Dunno, haven’t shot anything with it yet!

    Cloverleaf at 100y though

    Was quite strange, is really accurate with the180gr Winchester PowerPoint, albeit at a slow 2200fps (great bush load) but absolutely hated any other normal factory 150gr loads (like 5” group hated!)
    But loves the superformance.
    Must be something to do with the harmonics at a particular speed.
