I've had the best luck with H4831SC and RL22 with what you've got listed and the sweet spot happened to be around 150-160 gr bullets; a custom 700 with a custom reamer. "Full time night woman?

An OEM Big Green 280/7mm RemMag will happily squirt .796 BC 180 ELD's at Low Tide,from their 9.25" RPM issued spouts. Hint. When I spec Customs chambered same,180's Smooch squarely at 3.585" COAL,which arranges nice thangs with .838 BC 190 Beer Cans. Hint. Just sayin'...................

The only thing funnier than "fhuqk" is you trying to look down and see your manhood over your beer gut, not that you've used it in many, many years, Betty Sue. The BC is BS on that bullet, by the way Betty Sue. Maybe that's why your initials are "BS", because you couldn't tell the truth if your pea pickin' life depended on it. "Full time night woman?

Poor Betty Sue on her rag lashing out again. The whole world sees through you, you're just an attention whore. Wouldn't it be nice if you did something with your life or had accomplishments to share?
