This rifle used to shoot the 52's and 53's. Thats what we burned up the last barrel shooting, and boy did they shoot good. Funny thing is I still have a few boxes of my handloaded 52's from over 20 years ago, and this thing still loves em. But I for sure wanted it to be able to shoot the 75 ELDM's for longer range stuff, and bigger varmints. Thats why I went with the faster twist.



At what distance does the 75 grain overtake the 50 grain VMax bullet at 3800 FPS? And what distance does it have an advantage?
