I guess I was calling old, new and new, old... crazy

Thanks for the correction.

That HP SGK is surprisingly accurate in this rifle. So, if it's as good as the Midway reviewers say, may be a good choice for WT's and hogs.

Varget and B.G. both worked well with it. May need to try StaBALL, which was slightly more accurate than B.G with the 140 VLD, both loads going sub inch.
