I LOVE THIS RIFLE!!!!!!!!!!!

It likes SSA Match Kings the most and is WELL sub-moa with them. I've also had some success with Hornady 110 v-max rounds. The Remington stuff that I've tried you couldn't pay me to try IN THIS RIFLE again, but I've heard that the first production stuff is OK. I have a deer control permit untill hunting season starts that allows me to shoot them anytime of the day or night that I see them in the tree nursury. To answer many people's questions regarding fragmentation range with this newer round, I shot a doe at 200 yds with an SSA Matchking two nights ago and there wasn't even a shoulder left, the exit wound was EASILY larger than a grapefruit. Last night I took two more one at about 30 yds and the other at about 60, both were taken with the Hornady V-MAX 110gr, the first taken at 30yds had NO EXIT WOUND, and the second, larger deer taken at 60 yds had an exit wound that was about 6-7 inches in diameter. All three deer were knocked on their back and did not get up at all. I am very pleased with the effectiveness.

This is the Matchking exit wound, sorry but no camera for the V_MAX shot.

PS I will post more when I can, I thought that this could be fairly informative to some, if it's not, then thanks for looking at my gun porn anyway!

Heres a little video from this weekend:

very cool.

My 6.8 noveske is my truck gun and I am trying to decide what ammo to put in it for 2leg and 4 leg creatures.

Looks like the Vmax might be good for people, but the SSA matchkings and prohunters are much less $$$.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else's 6.8, but my groups shrank nearly to half with the SSA vs. the hornady. with the added benefit of extra velocity!!!!!!!!!!

What is the length of that rail? I've been looking around for a source on 8.0s.

It's a 7and 15/16" long KAC rail. AFAIK they are the ONLY company that makes this length rail and it was a royal bitch to find as most people don't even know about them. A midlength rail would be too long as the SOPMOD flashhider comes about an inch back over the barrel from the shoulder. I thought that I would have to send the barrel back to be reprofiled to fit the SOPMOD because it comes back over the gas block area where a larue gasblock would normally cover, but the inner diameter of the SOPMOD was over .750" so no problems

. The overall length with the suppressor mounted is right under 16".

Bought two more boxes of the Hornady 110gr V-max to use tonight. If I get a chance, I'll post the pics of the shots. I'm hoping to get a couple of shots in the 250-300yd range. I'd like to know the fragmentation range of the 10.5" 6.8 barrel and I don't believe that anyone has published publicly any of that information. I'm just guessing that I won't be able to go much further than 300 yds.

****Does anyone know what a good price on a chrono is??? I'd really like one, but don't want to break the bank****
