You are talking 172 FMJ when you say 172s. When I say 175s I'm saying 175 sierra BTHP match. THey are NOT made at LC< but at Sierra. And they are a proven match bullet, where the 172 was an improvement on the ball 150s... they never have been a true match bullet. Heck the more it think, maybe the ball in special ball was actually 173?

First thing you do when issued the special ball is try to have a seater so you can crack the tar seal on the bullets... and then shoot em. Helps a bit with accuracy.

The M118LR is a fairly new iteration, using only the 175 sierra as far as I know.
