Thanks for the boost in confidence I appreciate it. I do agree that the 200 yard shot is a difficult one with a ML and I have accomplished it once. I ended up having problems with the scope and after that I managed to make it threw the season with a cheaper ML scope. I come from the military and was lucky enough to have a First Sgt who was a sniper for the Army before he became my First Sgt. He showed our company a lot during his service with our unit and I shot for our Units shooting team for the Governers Ten. We did alright and the best part was how much I learned about our weapons. I try to lap that over to ML and start to get frustrated because I know that I can shoot (at least a little). Since then I am no longer in service and yet a lot of my training has helped me with shooting along with other areas.

I don't necessary believe that I need to shoot 120 grains of powder my preferred amount is 85 to 90 grains way more accurate for the way I shoot. However I was going to switch to Goex instead of 777 and guess I thought that the Goex wouldn't shoot as hot as 777 therefore needing the extra push. Just guess I should remember when I first started and had the same problems. Things were easy after I found the perfect load for my first ML and since I switch I am back on the experimenting road till I find that perfect load.

I will continue to watch everyones comments and advice to up my skills so that I can achieve what I perfer as my best load.

Thanks again for the encouragement. I really enjoy reading what people have to say on this forum and it has really helped a lot.
