Berger 80.5 Fullbore in AR

[karrarararararar]

At the CMP western games last month, I scored for the high shooter on Saturday. Shot a 792 at Ben Avery with boxes of mk262 ammo all the way back. He is definitely above average, but proof an 80 isn’t needed. But for what it’s worth, I believe he would have scored better with 80’s as he lost a couple points to wind.

And I was high shooter on Friday with a 790. Mk262 at 200 and 300, 90's at 600 shooting bolt gun

Next you’ll have to use mk262 at 600 as well.

Nah, I'll stick with my 90's

Update - I was able to acquire a few of these 80.5 Berger fullbore bullets so I tested them yesterday at our local 100 yard range. I loaded them to magazine length and used CFE223, Varget and IMR 8208 powders. The best 4 shot group was 1.5 inches using Varget powder, I was shooting off a concrete bench using a Harris bipod. I then used my go to load of Sierra 77 MKT with Varget powder which resulted in a 4 shot group of .75 inches. Guess I'll stay with the 77's ( : I appreciate all the comments!

Note: not certain how well the Berger's would perform at longer distances.

Great 600 to 1000 yard bullet if used in a " single shot" mode.
