I THINK THAT YOU CAN USE THAT

Nice! Try that again in a few days and see if it holds.

 

[CharlieNC]

Looking good. Have you tried the 80.5 full bore? They may even shoot a little better.

Gonna shoot FTR?

 

[Dub]

I shoot F/TR now with a 308. I do plan to shoot this in a match or two though.

 

[SG4247]

It’d be real fun to shoot that short n sweet 223 rig, and beat them F open guns!

Dub, if those are 1/4 inch grids, you did better than 3/4 inch....
