    It is a dead end 4wd track on Doc land. Plenty of people use it for sighting in. Just about have to take a number on the weekend.

    I can't see too many antis thinking "Hey, I've been meaning to get some of these 147s, wonder how they go at long range" and watching, and it's also extremely apparent that "road" is a heck of a stretch.

    @chalkeye, click on the bell next to the subscribed on one of the videos and check in the little box that comes up.

    .5gr less than my 140gr amax load I think, for 40fps more speed. Obviously higher pressure.

    Hey i found a similar effect when i dropped to the 130 expecting it to be much faster. Nope.

    I've got a box of these 147 waiting to load up myself. Going to be interesting to see what velocities i can get with the long barrelled swede.
