Thanks Jake

I'm talking about 4-5" 3 shot groups at 100 yards. I went and bought a box of Winchester 150gr ammo and with this ammo the gun now shoots MOA at 100 yards.

They are around 3200 fps at the muzzle per chronograph. Time will tell if they hold together at close range. I shot a buck at 184yds last year and it folded and was dead instantly.
