Thnx MD

I have a Win 70, 6.5X55 and this past year I got an accurate load with the 120 N P @ 3000 fps. The only reason I didn't hunt it was that I ALSO got my 284 Win up and running. I have always wanted a 284 so it took priority last season.

I haven't had time yet to practice with the Swede at 3000 fps so I have NOT experienced what it is capable of doing say to 300-350 yds.
That is on my agenda for this year.

Thanks Again

Jerry
