Well............................sorry i don't keep records as good as you do. A reasonable guess for both the jugs and the paper would be 105g BH. Speed for the jugs in the winter would be around 1800 fps, or more. The paper was shot during the heat of summer, and probably was near 1860 fps, or more. Both were shot using my scoped X7, but with two different scope.

That's revealing Ron. It's funny how a person can lock himself into a mindset. I've never thought of my X7 as a 250+ yard gun. Gotta rethink that for sure.
