Thanks. It was JustC that suggested going to 44.5 so it looks like I owe him a few beers if he is ever out my way.

Now she's getting it done[:D] Those damn flyers tick me off to no end. nothing like a great group and one little "variable". That is some great shooting too.

Rather have one flyer than 4. HA! [:D]

Well we will see what this load does out at some real range tomorrow. I decided to say screw it and shoot my first long range match tomorrow. See if she can get it done at 1000 in the morning.
