I shot some of the LE 140gr ammo in my 357 before I maxed it, 3-4" groups at 100yds, but others have been real happy with it, there's a report down the page or back a page on it.

well i tried the ftx out today an they show some good promise.shot a 3 shot group at 30yrds that you could cover with a nickle, another that was about a 1 1/4 an my buddy tried it an got 1 1/2 group for 4 shots.then we decided to go to 100yrds an thats when shat happen the gun just started shooting all over the place.then me an my buddy discussed it an figure that its the scope,i got the scope from him alittle while back an it came on his 30-06 when he bought that used.he told me that he had a promblem with that scope that one day it would shoot well an then the next time it wouldnt.so now its new scope time.LOL
thanks
