Is it worth chasing MOA All Day with this bullet and powder combo, or should I order some 77s and Varget? Or something else? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/437601/IMG_5601_jpeg-2815721.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/437601/IMG_5298_jpeg-2815731.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/437601/IMG_5300_jpeg-2815732.JPG 23.5 looks good, especially with a fmj. Test some more at that to see if you are on to something, or if it was a lucky group. My LaRue barrels have all liked 77 smk’s and Berger tactical’s over Varget. |

Loaded up some 139 Lapua Scenar’s in the Creedmoor. Almost but not quite. Threw two shots I called on upper right and lower left. So close to breaking 1/2 moa average! This target averaged .5778 moa. The good news is the GAP is still shooting! Attached File |
