Anybody have a range report with the M118 ammo in a 5R Milspec? My understanding is they were made for each other from the Sniper Central Equip review. Like to get some feed back before I order a 500rd box, thanks!!

I have shot about a 100-rounds of the older M118 Match with 173-gr FMJ in my 5R, about the same results as factory Fed GGM 175-gr SMK. I think the GMM shoots just a little bit flatter, and only noticable at 700-yards and beyond.

Thanks for the info, I'll order some on my next order from Palmetto. If it does'nt shoot well in my Rem 700 5R it'll give me a reason to get that LWRC REPER I've been looking at.
