    Thanks. It was JustC that suggested going to 44.5 so it looks like I owe him a few beers if he is ever out my way.

    Now she's getting it done[:D] Those damn flyers tick me off to no end. nothing like a great group and one little "variable". That is some great shooting too.

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....

    Rather have one flyer than 4. HA! [:D]

    Well we will see what this load does out at some real range tomorrow. I decided to say screw it and shoot my first long range match tomorrow. See if she can get it done at 1000 in the morning.
