Yeah mate I tend to agree. You would think that anything new is just replicating ballistics that already exist. Still it is nice to try something new occasionally.

Using the Outback factory rounds loaded with 125gn SMK's, my rifle will put 5rds into .5" @100m. The Woodleigh loaded factory ammo is not as good but not shabby either, at around the inch @ 100m for 5rds.
I have a range of various 30cal pills from 110 - 135gn to use in reloads. Also have Lil'gun, 2205 & 296 powders to work with. I'm also keen to trial sml pistol primers. I use these for my Hornet & K-Hornet loads.

It seems a lot of people have success with the 125gr pills doesn't it. I should really give mine a run with some pricier pills - but tbh moa is enough for me - i shoot mainly field positional so i don't need insane accuracy - poor shots come from me more than the rifle!
Given pricing, the Rugers are accurate guns - in a time not so long ago you'd spend a lot of money getting a rifle to shoot like that - just goes to show how much barrel making has improved.
