Post by: jjhunter on July 04, 2012, 09:42:35 AM: I shot them out of my 300WM behind 73 grns of H4831 and they were outstanding. Lotsa groups in the .1's and .2's at 100. Some sub 2" groups at 600, a 4.5" group at 1090.

Post by: Eli346 on July 05, 2012, 09:40:06 PM: Huntbear, I'm using the Hunting Shack ammo with the Berger VLD's that I buy from the Long Range store on the internet. They have been good to me for the past few years. I used to use the Winchester XP3's but the VLD's are about $10 cheaper and shoot better groups out of my gun.
