I've been working up loads and shot some fair groups today (for me). 24" 1 in 9 with 40 grain Noslers. I see photos of some really nice groups shot by others. When do I get to claim bug holes? Is there an accepted standard? I suppose mine qualify if I find some big bugs.

Funny...I too shoot a 6.5. Mine is the .264 LBC. My best 5-shot group at 300 is 1.48" or right at .5" MOA (just like Les guarantees). Shooting the same ammo too. I'm still planning on trying some 130 g VLDs and see how they pattern.

Sorry Chief....I beat you to it. Very fast ship and exactly as advertised.

Still available??? My wife has the 50mm version on her 204 and this might work nicely on my re-built 22-250

You think he would call his brother, but no. Just finished trimming 200 pieces in about 1.5 hours with the WFT. I like it and it is quite accurate.
