    The article seems thorough and to support the ammo i and others are currently using, but i will let you know in a few days when i've tried a few different ones. I was hestitant to push anything over 55gr through the rifle thinking it was a 1:12. Will try it out now though.

    With regards to the lower weight bullet. I agree that i am getting good results wih certain bullets, but not with all them and even some p**s poor results with "higher" end (price wise) bullets. I will try some higher weight ones then decide whether to stay with lower or higher weighted bullets.
