    Very interested as well.

    Agreed! Molon's test threads were incredible. I still reference them often.

    Challenge accepted. His ten shot groups and the argument for is my standard when I try out new ammo or load develop.

    Maybe we should talk in private and arrange a meet up somewhere and make a day of it. Fall is much cooler, too.

    That's the other thing... the heat. Trying to stack 10 holes when you're cooking? yuck!

    Mark-
    Im trying to remember, but for the last two months Ive searched so many ammo sellers & ads I cant remember for sure, but for some reason MIDWAY sticks out in my mind. I am most likely wrong. I remember them talking about how it does fit in G.I. spec mags & Pmags.
    If yall locate a source please PM me!
    Im currently working 6-7 days a week, have been since March..so im not shooting now, just gathering as much LR/Match/Sniper type ammo as I can afford for my 20" precision gun Ive not fired yet.

    I believe this is what I was looking at...not the 87gr load you are talking about. Sorry for the mistake sir.

    Here's a pic of the bullet. (from our buddy) Weighs in at 87.2 grains. 24.2 grains of ball powder behind it.

    Supposed to be ammo used for a long range training deal.

    We will def be chrono-ing the round. I couldn't get my hands on for this Sunday, but next for sure. My buddy that I'm buying it from will probably chrono it about right now, so we might have data sooner.
