I usually cut them down to about 11oz. With a bushing barrel, you have a lighter gun than a 5" bull. It does everything a 5" does except has a longer sight radius.
No one is allowed to say anything to the shooter dureing a course of fire except the R.O. He can only give the range commands & call hits if asked by the shooter, nothing else.
A 55 does't drift futher or drop more @ 300. Mine shoots 55 blistic tips into 1.7 inches @300. No need for the heavy ones unless knocking down heavy metal.
Bruce, use your irons. have you ever looked through a scope? There is no front post in them & you probley won't know how to use one anyway. See you there.
