Pete, HE is the one that was talking crap. HE is the one that said "he would put his flintlock up against any Impact"!! What it will prove is he is full of crap. And in case you missed it or if it was in any way vague, when I told him he could use that CVA he is so fond of, I was talking about his V2 that costs twice as much as the Impact! I haven't even shot the Impact past 150 (my 200+ range is still a damn mud pit) but with it's performance at 150 I have total faith in it out to 250. And mind you that shoot at 150 was with Lehigh 220gr .458's which aren't precision accuracy bullets. They are good hunting bullets and are plenty accurate enough for that task but they typically aren't the best precision target bullets available. May try some Parkers (275gr) out of her and see how they shoot. Just for giggles! My PH barrel liked them a lot but the boss (wife) sure didn't! Them puppies are e x p e n s i v e !!
