Bigcountry, I live in Catonsville and my range is in Marriottsville. I would be happy to have you come out with me and shoot. As I said, I can get sub 1" groups at 100 yards off of a solid rest on a bench with my loads. I doubt if anyone can get that offhand in a real hunting situation but knowing that my ML is capable of it gives me more confidence. I trust it more than I trust my slug gun. Heck, it gets better groups than half of my rifles. Let me know if you want to take me up on my offer. I don't know how much I can "school" ya but I'd be happy to show you my range.

Steve
