[QUOTE="Ghost7, post: 1072053, member: 89834"] Tightwad wants to report his data from the range. Little breezy this morning so I elected to run to the tube at my local bass pro. Controlled environment at 100 yds. Since I still don't have the bullets that I had to order I had loaded up some 90 gr noslers, 70 gr noslers and 85 gr sierras. The results are as follows: 90 gr nosler = 2.252" Very discouraging 70 gr nosler = .960" Still disappointing 85 gr sierras = .330" over varget 35.8 gr = .913" over imr4064 = .377" over varget. 37.0 gr THERE IS HOPE! I had already reserved a room at the local mental hospital if I didn't get some decent groups today. So excited, I now have confidence in this cheap rifle, a base to start from to continue this journey. 100 gr and 105 gr should be in this week. [/QUOTE]
