Ok,
So, I woke up with a huge itch to devirginize my GAP-Surgeon .243. Since I didn't have any match ammo on hand, I had asked George recently if Winchester Power Point 100 grain ammo would harm the rifle. He basically said no, but for me not to expect the rifle to shoot to its full potential. Fair enough, right?
Well, I took the rifle and scope out for a spin and shot a box of 20 Winchester Power Point 100 grain ammo out to 100 yards. My first sighter was high and to the left. I adjusted the scope, and the second sighter was low and right. Mils, mils, not moa, idiot. This was the first time ever shooting a mil/mil scope. Made a final adjustment and shot the remaining 18 rounds. I was very pleased to say the least. Considering that it shot as well as it did with crappy factory ammo, I can't help to wonder what it will do with reloaded 115 DTAC ammo.
George, you were right. The rifle didn't shoot to its full potential but it does hint to its extreme accuracy and precision potential.
