It's mind blurring reading all the forums looking for info. Some people say not to even bother shooting 300 gr bullets. Others say they actually had good luck. Same with the leverlution FTX bullets not performing well at all in the micro groove barrels.

But I'm being optimistic. The FTX grouped very well out of my rifle. I'm hoping the 300s will do the same.
