Yeah, I have some of the Military M118 LongRange ammo from work and it shot real good. Was told it is a military spin off of the GMM. Just trying to see if it would be worth my while to try it. Seeing we have since went to the 338 Lapua, we don't get much 308 ammo anymore. We keep the 308's as back-up guns JIC, but I don't ever see us going back to them as our principal weapon again.
