We shot 75 VLDs, 80 SMKs, 80 VLDS, 80.5 Bergers, and 82 Bergers through the 4G 8T Shilens.

At the last LEG MATCH at Bayou Rifles in Houston, Keith shot the 82s, had 200-11X at 6, Buddy shot the 75 VLDs and ripped it 200-11X, with the 10s forming a nice group around the X ring. Lee dropped a point on his first shot, posted 199-15X.

Back in the day when Jeff and I shot together, I used the 7.8 T Obermeyer(might as well be 8T) My old friend Bill Wylde, the creator of the Wylde reamer, did the barrels for me back then. Using 80 VLDs, the little 20 inch rifle won the High Service Rifle at the 1998 Long Range Championship, shooting against M14s and M1s.

You don't need a 7T to shoot clear to 1000.
