I have often wondered how the Fed. Tipped Varmint would shoot in your Rifles ! Thank you for sharing !! I use your info so much... I think I should be paying for it ! Seriously ... thank you for all of your effort. We all owe you a beer ! |

| I could spend all day looking at the data you provide Molon, keep it coming! I'm not surprised, but quite disappointed in the Core-Lokt performance. Looks like I'll have to use what I have of it up. |

| I began shooting my stash of the Turkish stuff up last week. I was running drills pretty fast, and not really going for accuracy as much as effective hits. I kept most of it within a 8.5"x11" sheet of paper. When I did take precise shots it actually performed better than I expected. I'm going to try to get back out and shoot some more with it and see how well I can get it to group. There may have been some batches of this stuff that perform well, but I'm betting they are few and far between. |

Molon is basically my hero... ten shot groups from now on for me. Upcoming test, 77 IMI vs 75 Speer GDSP (with apparently .4 bc?!? not sure I buy it...)
Note: probably not worth your time to test magtech 77, in your gun im guessing 1.75 for 10 shots, maybe closer to 2.00. Anyhow thank you so much for all this data, never would have considered speer 75s without you. |

Anyhow thank you so much for all this data, never would have considered speer 75s without you. Speer is more than a little optimistic with their BC. Last time we did this we decided it was .28 (G1) on the 75gr’s IIRC. |

| thank you for the Hornady black 62 gr data. That looks like a good load. How do the ballistics look compared to M855? that bullet looks to be a big improvement over the penetrator green tip |

Molon, thanks for all you do. To me, this has been one of the most valuable threads I've ran across on Arfcom. I've been subscribed to it since the first month I joined the site!
