Thanks. I don't know whether that's all that "great" but I'm not a target shooter either. Just a hunter. I figure everyone shooting off sandbags can do that. It's just trigger control and follow through, which is a lot easier when you're shooting reduced loads.

Sure is nice to know if a 300-yard shot presents itself, the gun is up to the task.

That particular gun sure seems to like 2.800" COAL rounds. My 168-grain NBT's were made to that length (as per the reloading spec) and I thought I'd run the 150's out to that length as well, even though the reloading spec was shorter than that. I guess maybe there is something to that distance to the lands thing everyone talks about.
