I could achieve a 2.75" group @ 300 mtrs pretty consistently with 53g V max, on a good day with a bi-pod from a CZ with a skinny sporter weigh barrel. :wink:

Well best shooting, nosler 50gn BT. Probably best all round actually. Best value? Maybe 55gn Sierra super roo. Very good in all departments. SHOTS very close second. I don't mind the zmax 50 gun either but have not had the time to load develop properly with them and cannot get as tighter groups as the nosler BT.

I know I will never buy both Hornady TAP. And highland. They are SHIT

24.5 to 25 gn BM2 would be a good start

Yep they'd be my pick too, those things shoot bloody well and kill very well too and don't cost a small fortune either - excellent projectile.
AGREED :D
