I paid $.23 for the Wolf ammo, and .27 for the 123 ELDs. $.60 for sub MOA AR ammo, and .3 out of my Howa - I'm happy. I'll be using that up between practice and the SRM that I go to.
By stretching out, I have taken it out to 725 on paper for calibrating my Kestral if that is what you mean. I don't see a difference here between the Factory Black, Reloaded brass, and Moscow Match. If done right, you get quality ammo for long range consistency and the price is right.
7 and 8 SDs on two different powder charges and same velocity as Factory Black.
I run into a smoking deal on bullets then I may go through this again - insofar as pulling and recycling the components with a high BC bullet, especially if using a mandrel or expander can get a better neck tension, though I am not complaining with getting a 5 shot SD of 7 in a gas gun. If someone can get the Nosler 130s to run, I may try those too. Still hoping someone will come out with a bullet in the 115s and a G7in the .3s that BFT was pushing for, though the jump to the lands seems to be the killer here.
Those 107 SMKs look good for pull, size and push, velocity seems a little low. Hence my wanting to know what the factory Wolf speed is in bidsl's rifle.
