    @jakewire. Just went magazine length (2.866") and used the same load I had used for same weight Ballistic Tips. Was a bit hot so I dropped .5 grans and went straight to .75moa which was ok for my tired eyes.

    @jakewire A lot of people say the bc is exaggerated but it seems ok for me. They are rated at .598 and my drop chart works at .590 so its close.

    Nah. Will bring the 6,5x55. I don't want to burn the barrel and muffler out on the saum.

    @doinit Nah, not DOC. Wairarapa coastal. Has been 1080'd many years ago because of 'possums and TB. Unlikely to happen again.
