    Good stuff, Spicy ! :yesway:
    I've always liked all of the Magtech ammo I've shot .... long guns, and handguns.

    For (probably an unscientific reason) :D, I picked Frontier 68 grain BTHP Match for my 'serious' ammo with the magical Blue Mink <<<(just like G****, it must always be presented in this format).
    I'd be curious to see what your new love would do with the same 68 gr. Frontier. If you're so inclined someday, please report back !
    :)
    Thank you MM. I have a list going of more ammo to test and will add that to it. I'm gonna be shooting this rifle ALOT.

    Leadeye, what is the difference between 32WS and 30-30? They look pretty close.

    Not a lot, mainly the caliber and twist rate. The 32WS is much more forgiving to us bullet casters. With jacketed stuff, there really is no difference.

    You guys save your brass, I'll buy it.

    I’m gonna have to try that 77gr magtech stuff. I think it is a whole cheaper than the Black Hills. Did you order it online?

    Son picked up both at Cabelas this afternoon, and sent me a picture. Without putting calipers to them, they would be hard to distinguish.

    It's about half the price of the Black Hills stuff. I've seen a good amount of people on other forums talk about how they like it better (mainly becuase of cost). It comes in 50 rd boxes for around $29. I usually get it from Target Sports USA, but they don't always have it in stock.

    I’ve seen several tests where the Magtech groups better on paper than the black hills. All of my guns prefer the heavier bullets, but damn they are expensive.

    What style of holster are you using, 88 ? IWB, OWB, ?

    I had a Kramer OWB scabbard in mahogany horsehide custom made for it.

    I haven't tried a P10s yet, but have tried the P10c and liked it. Have heard enough good stuff about the P10s that I feel like I don't need to try it. Optics ready version of course.

    I don't know that someone at my entry level skillset could really notice or take full advantage of the really good match ammo. I'm honestly content with any rifle that shoots 1moa. That's my happy size group. Anything that shoots groups smaller than that just gives me a big smile.

    KJ ..... you're such a killer, you don't even have to worry about the type of ammo. All's you have to do is look at the Bad Guys, and they fall down where they stand ! :D
