Wow! I didn't even have to clean my rifle. If anyone thinks they have problems with their barrel, I always recommend they shoot some 120 Sierra's. If the 120 Sierra doesn't shoot well, either they can't shoot or the barrel is lousy.
Bill Waites and I had little problem with the 120 Sierras to around 700 meters in wind a few years ago. However, the targets were IPSC steels so 3 minutes was fine for a hit. Then again, the steels were at unknown distances and the winds were pretty good.
The 120 Sierra is a very reliable bullet because it isn't a VLD or a VLD hybrid. It can take huge amounts of jump or no jump at all, a wide variety of powders and primers, and it will still shoot extremely well.
I have pull / pushed them over the Wolf MPT and they shot consistently under a minute at 200 yards.
Thanks again for doing the dirty work!
