    I'm happy as larry shooting things with 80s out to 400+m at 2700-2800fps MV. Bear that in mind - is the extra 100fps worth fighting for ?

    For reference, these are groups from a .223 T3 with ammunition it doesn't like. It will shoot much better with a load it does like. 270326 270327 270328
