This ULW just de-throned my Browning A-Bolt 7 mag as my best shooter. Just took it to the local 500 yard range, shot sub MOA at 200,300 and 500 yards. There is a 12" gong target (steel plate) at the 500 yard line, the range guy told me to try to hit it. I dialed the Zeiss to 10 power, settled the 500 yard crosshair, took a deep breath, let it out and squeezed the trigger. After the gong stopped spinning around from the hit the range guy with spotting scope jerked his head up and said "My God, you can't do much better than that." I looked through the spotting scope and saw that the 6.5 center punched the gong. I guess it's ready for Idaho's elk & mule deer next month. Totally impressed. Hand loaded with 140g Partitions, 82 grains of WC867 military powder, Federal 215 primers.
