Got out to shoot some more this evening after all the festivities. Took some Remington core loct 150 grain and they shot tightest yet. Best group at 100 yards was 3/4 inch. The accuracy of this rifle never ceases to impress me for a battle rifle. Hope to use it on some does tomorrow morning if the rain will hold off a little.
Madcratebuilder - I would have been perfectly happy with 2 moa out of this rifle if I hadn't already seen better groups with me shooting irons. (shot a 1 1/2 inch group with win 762 NATO fmj). I just knew this rifle could do better. Shot a couple more groups of the power points today and again 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 inch groups. This rifle just doesn't like that stuff. Oh and thanks for the links on cheek pads.
Also, I havnt shopped around for it, but what is out there in the way of hunting ammo in the 165 - 170 grain range. I've been sticking with 150s because that's what I thought most people with more experience than me were suggestion out of the m1a.
Definitely plan on working up a good hunting load myself later this winter.
Merry Christmas!
