Where is mssmagnum?, where were you Sat.? Clev and I waited as long as we could, I was there till about 5 PM. I really wanted to see how that thing worked. I did shoot a 40x40 with the XP 6-223. It was about all those 80 grainers wanted to do at 200 M. [Razz] [Razz]

Jeff-

Congrats on the perfect score...

Now we know for certain that ol' XP of mine (oops..."yours") can shoot...

And you must have placed those shots just perfectly to have the 80 grainer topple those 200 m. rams.....again, nice shooting!

I hope to do a bit of shooting with a little of everything Tuesday as I finally have a full day off. I may even start the morning with a little hog hunting.
