I guess you're not reloading or at least looking for factory ammunition.

GGG is very good, the 62ball, 69 and 77 match stuff too.

I have also had great results with the PPU 75gn match stuff. My wife has had better results than me with the PPU :oops: .

All from several 1:8" rifles.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

Rules? Do we now have rules regarding the publishing of reloading data?

And can I ask where your target was shot, Geek? The Shotmarker screenshot looks different to those in use at Bisley.
Presumably it can be configured to show group size in MOA?

I think that was 200 yds but I regularly shoot the .223 out to 600 yds with no problems.
