Picked up some blue box federal 130gr yesterday and shot it with a buddy of mine. We shot 12 rounds in a row (with a few minor scope adjustments) and was able to hold the last 3 round group pretty damn tight A 100yds. There were three fliers out of the 12 rounds but I blame them on Joe since he can't hit the broad side of a barn This post is protected by copyright.

They're made for punching paper. I shot a coyote down twice last season at 75 yards. Joker got up and left the field. I didn't bother to blood trail him. The first shot was head on. The second shot was broadside while he was hauling tail. "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it." Captain Woodrow F. Call ShawBuilt Custom Bowstrings
