Would love to hear your results Buzz. A good friend I hunt with could not get these bullets to shoot in his custom AR-15 with multiple powders tested and 3 barrels tried. Some groups were so bad we couldn't make sense of the target at 100 yards with all the random bullet holes.

got some 140's too for my Creedmoor for testing. Jump them around 30thou with the same powder charge as 140 hybrid/amax and you'll be good. Use a .330 bc too
