Hey everyone -

Signed up for my FIRST match since I was 15. Match is 12/12.

Started checking out different match grade loads and saw this on sale today at Cabelas.

Anyone have any experience?



*Edit - I did a forum search and saw mostly reloading-related stuff.

200 yards???

All you need is some 155 grain. The 178s will shoot good but they're expensive and have more recoil.



As far as that load goes, its probably going to come down to whether your gun likes that particular bullet or not more than powder charge/weight.

For instance my match rifle loves Hornady 168 but HATES Nosler 168s.

Same cases, same powder and same charge and the groups would go from 1" groups or less with the Hornady, to 2.5-3" with the Noslers.
