The Sub-Sonic .308 Win 175's worked awesome for me and I am looking forward to the .243 115's

Mike & Zach --- Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Chris

Awesome. I'll be placing an order when I can. Might consider loading the 178gr Amax in the future also.

Wow you guys have made some huge jumps. Last time I checked your site, you only had 308 and 223, I believe. Now you have a new site and an excellent choice or inventory. I'm glad you guys offer 260 Rem. I'll have to try some when my barrel gets here.

It all looks great. Keep up the good work so my bank accounts can hover just above the minimum balance.

funny, I've shot 1/2 MOA groups with a 300 whisper at 300yds, why can't 400 be done at MOA?

Setup is pof 308 with 1:10 twist 16" barrel. Scope leupold mark 4 4.5-14 50mm.
100 MOA of available adjustment total I think. Never tried to take it that far. Zero is 200 meters.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DFOOSKING</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I run a 40yd zero instead of 100yd just because the drop is so pronounced and my "typical engagement distance" varies in distance so a 100yd zero is a bit much...your zero is solely up to you and your needs. </div></div>
I contemplate running subsonic - and for those I plan to zero at 40m (my "main" ammo is zeroed at 100m). One reason - it seems that 175gr SMK at 2650fps with 100m zero and 175gr SMK at 1050fps with 40m zero hit <span style="text-decoration: underline">at the same place</span> according to JBM, so no gross scope adjustment would be necessary.

SAME QUESTION. Even with an adjustable gas block?
