to the Dome on Saturday and after a warm up at 1480 yards
we moved up to the 1885 yard line.

Very close to my load using H1000. Bare smk 150, 59 h1000, h brass, fed 210m oal 3.06 giving 3120fps from a 30" 1.7.5t 5r barrel. Less than 0.5moa for 3 shot groups.
Nice to know what this cartridge will do.
Thanks for the information.

Good to hear...
I've looked at their factory 1 and would get it if I can
sale a O/U I have. Not close to that 1 but I'd still like to own 1.
